Wow...article and statements verified.

Fine.

Good luck working that nuclear power plant with no engineers.

Good luck designing that infrastructure without civil engineers.

Good luck creating that growth economy without business majors and accountants.

Good luck maintaining that "civilization thingy" with that attitude, you racist scumbags.

Bow down to your intellectual overlords, you ignorant, backwards @ss, uneducated ***s.

According to the January, 16, 2007, Scientific American article, "What is the origin of zero? How did we indicate nothingness before zero?":

"The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth. Zero reached western Europe in the 12th century."

"Old white men" is clearly pejorative today.

I fully expect the subject of euthanasia as a solution to the exploding budget will become very popular with the multicultural left very soon. When they refer to the elderly they're referring to "old white men".

I wrote that on my Pee-Chee in high school. Many, many moons ago.

Radical Math was created by educator Jonathan Osler several years ago while teaching at El Puenta Academy in New Jersey. Osler taught Radical Math along-side Cathy Wilkerson, a former member of the Weather Underground Organization (with Bill Ayers) who once participated in a plot to detonate a nail bomb at a dance for military personnel at Fort Dix.


Weatherman Math-

Come the revolution, Weathermen are going to have to execute 25 million bourgeoisie reactionaries to consolidate the revolution.

If a firing squad uses 13 re eduction camp guards and each firing squad needs an average of 1.2 volleys to execute one pig, how many bullets does it take to execute all 25 million of the bourgeoisie pigs .

“I think islam (small i) invented zero.

That’s about it.”

Actually the Hindu’s invented the Zero, the Muslim just expropriated it and popularized the idea.

The Arabs - not necessarily Muslims did devise our modern numbers

Islam did not invent zero. It was invented long before MoMo was born, islam gets credited for it because they noticed it was a cool thing as they were destroying yet another conquered culture in India, and spread it to the mideast so it was more known

I’m gifted at math and so are my daughters. I get irritated with teachers who don’t respect people who are good at math. Ut’s a hell of a lot more relevant than the amount of creative writing my daughters have had to endure in their schooling.
