In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space. In physical problems, the choice of origin is often arbitrary, meaning any choice of origin will ultimately give the same answer. This allows one to pick an origin point that makes the mathematics as simple as possible, often by taking advantage of some kind of geometric symmetry. (Wikipedia).
Where did math come from? Which numbers arose first? Did math develop the same way across cultures? While the details are fuzzy, history shows that if people have ever needed to count something, they developed some form of mathematics. Journalist and moderator Robert Krulwich and the exper

Where Does the Definition of the Derivative Come From?
A student asked about the definition of the derivative in class so I derived the definition really quickly. We had just finished covering infinite limits so we were not talking about derivatives yet, but it was such a good question that I thought I should share this here. I hope this hel
