Well, the brightest stars all have Arabic names today but if the Library of Alexandria had not burned down, the stars would most likely have Greek names.

Math is cool. Here’s Gauss’ solution to homework assigned to the class as punishment. He was 10 years old.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 99 + 100 = ?
1 + 100 = 101
2 + 99 = 101
...
49 + 52 = 101
50 + 51 = 101; 50*101 = 5,050.

Solution to an infinite series using Allegra.
S = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ...
S/2 = 1/2 +1/4 +1/8 + ...
S = 1 + S/2; S/2 = 1; S = 2. QED
