Tuesday (Wednesday) Trivia

Hey folks,

Quick reminder: PRACTICE THOSE 3X TABLES. They're a little further down the screen. Study them, say them all in 20 seconds or less, and win a bunch of tickets! We'll be moving on to the 4s next week.

Okay, cutting to the chase. Here's this week's trivia question:

In class, we've discussed the young physicist named Isaac Newton who later went on to theorize that "things fall to earth" because of an invisible force called gravity.

Sir Newton did a whole lot of other great things too...but one of them is a controversy amongst historians! What "mathematical language" is Newton sometimes credited with inventing to discover the world around us? (Hint: it's something that high school students learn).

Follow-up question: Who is the other person believed to have created this type of math eight years earlier?

Get your answers in tomorrow for a chance at two tickets! This is a tough one!

Mr. C
