The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Posted on March 16, 2014 | 3 Comments

I have taught Griffin (9 years old) the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

That is…

\frac{d}{dx} \int_{a}^{x} f(t)dt=f(x)

Details and discussion coming soon.

In the meantime, see Kristin’s related post.

Full disclosure. Griffin was paid a sum of $0.25 for his performance.

    Griff just taught me “more math than I’ve learned in my entire life…”

    I’m unimpressed. That’s only *half* of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

    I think he is well on his way to publishing a book w/Danica McKellar 🙂 Guaranteed to clear more than $.25 on that deal!
