First authorb paper out in the wild. It's challenging as an independent researcher, but it can be done. This has been a long time coming. Maybe more in the future

Should show up in a couple other locations as well hopefully (pending reviews)

I thought I'd share this. Julia is well-known in the education community, to which she has contributed enormously.

If you are able, consider contributing, no matter how little. Everything helps.

I remember doing all sorts of crafts with glue & paper learning fractions but never did we try dividing the paper to infinity— I think this should be something everyone tries. I’d do this with calculus students learning series! The idea of an infinite sum having finite value is just more— believable after you really do it. And I’m trying to get these 6th graders to like fractions. So they just can’t be BORING— #mathEducation #mathematics #series #geometricSeries #binaryNumbers #artsAndCrafts

Another infinite section of a square.
More squares but reassembled in different patterns.

Loads of new people on mathstodon lately. Is this all @samjshah's doing, or is something else going on?

For beginners it is often not easy to distinguish between sine end cosine. (Tangent is obviously something different.)

But one can easily remember which is which by looking at the values they take at 90°, or π/2:

c0s (π/2) = 0,
s1n (π/2) = 1.
