Partner, you hit a homerun on your statement.

I was telling my wife that these formulas in Calculus are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

You do not need new methods on how to teach. All you need is competent teachers that know Mathematics and know how to teach these young men and young women on how to think in these terms.

“I was telling my wife that these formulas in Calculus are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.”

That’s in Hebrews, right?

;)

I love that phrase (yesterday, today, and forever), but never thought of applying it to math. But, it is so! Newton rocks!

Yep first time I went through math I was using supplemental books from my grandpa in the 1920's and my dad in the 1950's...same formulas, only back then there were few analogies, you either learned or burned.

Competence in teaching anything must include knowledge of the importance / application of what you are teaching.

I admit to being a little slow on the uptake but it has taken parts of a career to make things like hydraulics and electrical engineering come alive and the mathematics to do those things relevant and intuitive. I have been reminded so / too many times how much I hated college because the professors were not interested in teaching at all. Just a few and we really appreciated them.
