                  @Potato2017 There was a palpable frustration from the audience yesterday, as the questions were a bit on the hard side... But don't worry, it won't be like this today (oh wait, today is MBMT...) I mean, tomorrow! 🙂

                                @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!!

                                        Like me what are integrals

                                        Also will all the math visual posters you've been showing be consolidated into a package like some 60-series of math posters or something?

                                          @The-Darkin-Blade The posters are in the Course Index (https://daily.poshenloh.com/pages/all-course-topic-index), and they show up as little "picture" icons which are actually links that you can click on. 🙂

                                          course-index-picture-icon.png

                                          This method of organization seems to work well enough for now, as the Course Index is a comprehensive list of everything, all in one place. 👍
