Over the past few months I have really enjoyed the math I have shared with my peers and the math that has been shared with me by my peers.  I also enjoy the field experience I am involved with but I felt like something was missing.  I found out that it wasn’t something missing it was just that I was getting too much geometry.  In my effort to try and pull myself into a new interesting direction I stumbled upon this history of Calculus site that I read about and wanted to share with you.  I learned earlier this week (or was reminded I can’t remember) that the Latin meaning for the word Calculus is Pebble.  This is because of the technique that the shepherds used to count their sheep every morning and night before and after sleep before a formal math system was even thought of.  I hope you all enjoy!
