One of our homework problems was to solve one of the examples that l’Hopital used in his original calculus textbook.

It took me a bit to figure it out ’cause I’m dumb, but after I finished it I actually wanted to find the original example in the original work. Surprisingly, it didn’t take too long to find. INTERNET POWERZ!

L’Hopital was French. His textbook is, therefore, obviously in French. Curse my unilingualism! I understand the numbers, though, haha.

How cool is it that we got to do this example? Seriously. I really, really hope they offer History of Mathematics class next fall.

Haha. Again, apologies for all the math-related blogs lately. But in all honesty, my life is about 60% math, 15% computer science, and 25% teaching statistics right now. A portion of one of those percentages will yield to some writing in a bit, but for now this is how it is.

If I’m annoying you, just ignore me for the rest of the semester.
