I was really pleased to find it on board the space station. It had been up there since 2001. It has had 70,000 world tours! That guitar has been around the world seventy thousand times.

How Stoicism Became The World's Greatest Scam

Stoicism is changing. You know, I’ve been reading Marcus Aurelius’s “Meditations.” Wow! I listened to it in the sauna; it’s really intense because you’re thinking these are the writings—the direct writings—that we have from a guy who lived 2,000 years ago…

Worked examples: Summation notation | Accumulation and Riemann sums | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

We’re told to consider the sum 2 plus 5 plus 8 plus 11. Which expression is equal to the sum above? And they tell us to choose all answers that apply. So, like always, pause the video and see if you can work through this on your own. When you look at the…
