“Calculus Reordered” tells the remarkable story of how calculus grew over centuries into the subject we know today. David Bressoud explains why calculus is credited to 17-century figures Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, how it was shaped by Italian philosophers such as Galileo Galilei, and how its current structure sprang from developments in the 19th century. Bressoud reveals problems with the standard ordering of its curriculum—limits, differentiation, integration, and series—and he argues that a pedagogy informed by the historical evolution of calculus represents a sounder way for students to learn this fascinating area of mathematics.

What We Are Reading Today: Miracle Children
- This book is an extraordinary look at the American higher educational system, and the lengths in which people will go to get there
Authors: Katie Benner, Erica L. Green
“Miracle Children” tells the story of a small private school in the US state of Louisiana that found itself at the center of a college admissions scandal after providing fake transcripts and fictional personal essays.
The book expends some jaw-dropping reporting from the two authors about the school, TM Landry, that seemed to get amazing results for their pupils. It presents a nice balance between historical perspective and investigative journalism. It is a well-researched, factual presentation of racism in education, both in the past and present day.
This book is an extraordinary look at the American higher educational system, and the lengths in which people will go to get there.
Through their journalistic investigation, Katie Benner and Erica L. Green put focus on the couple that ran the prep school along with some of the students that attended it.
