I think that Debbie is correct and I think that Po Shen Loh will do more integrals and calculus!!
-
@Kaden-Xia Today he's doing some easier problems kindly provided by the Newport Math Club, from their Knights of Pi Math Tournament. Don't worry, they are much easier than what we've been doing recently.

I think that more people won't understand the calculus I am just saying not me I would like calculus like integrals though well there aren't that many people who understand these things so I think that this would be the best for everyone!!
Thanks!!
