Join speaker @EmanuelDerman tonight, Dec 4 at 6:30 pm for a lecture on quantitative finance in honor of Peter Carr. Emanuel has developed industry-standard financial models over his celebrated career (Goldman Sachs, KKR Prisma Capital, Columbia). Register momath.org/simplified.

Thank you for your continued support of MoMath and its programs, which have brought the wonders of mathematics to a global audience. We hope you will make a tax-deductible donation to MoMath, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, at momath.org/GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday2024

@MoMath1 Calculus and derivative subjects (pun intended) allow us to understand physics.

Winner winner turkey dinner!

We can celebrate Thanksgiving by stuffing a turkey — or we can find two functions g(x) and h(x) that we can "stuff" f(x) = x²sin(1/x) between that will allow us to use the squeeze theorem to find and prove its limit as x approaches 0. Yum! Any takers?
