About

I am a high school math teacher in Brooklyn, New York. I enjoy getting students excited about math by being math’s loudest and most passionate cheerleader. Here’s my teaching portfolio. Also, if you want to know what I’m like, see the insides of my fridge, my wallet, my computer, and my bookshelves.

    Did you happen to hear the “radicals in the basement” joke from Doug Destasio? (South Puget Sound Community College, Olympia, Washington State?)

    No, I learned it from my HS calculus teacher Roger Keil. Corny math jokes were his thing. I wish I had that capability. I’m just not quick enough.

    About your title (I love your title by the way): you are talking about the type of function that can, say, be obtained by a limit of carefully chosen cosine functions, right? One can choose them so that the sum is uniformly continuous but that the sum of the derivatives is NOT.

    Dear Mr. Shah:

    I enjoy reading your blog, and was wondering if you would like to do a link exchange. My book blog’s url is educationanddeconstruction.com. Every week, I make a nonfiction book recommendation in the topic areas of education, history, technology, biography and/or humor. I have already put up your link. Please reply if you would like to do a link exchange. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Sally Friedman
