comment Extremely intuitive geometric proofs for teaching
Extremely cool. The perpendicular bisectors part is actually a good example. It took my students a while and a lot of prodding to see why the third bisector would meet at the same point.

comment Extremely intuitive geometric proofs for teaching
Hmmm. I personally find most geometric proofs to be pretty intuitive. The problem is that my students often don't understand the reasoning behind proofs that require too many intuitive leaps. Maybe what I'm going for is "simple."

comment Confused about Effective Rate of Discount- Theory of Interest
Wow I'm dumb. I tried inverting the function in the book to get the accumulation function, but I didn't get the right answer. I think I made a computational mistake and that's what's had me tripped up this whole time. Thanks.

What happened to the answer? The book gives 1/6th as the answer which I haven't been able to reach by any means...
