PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
"Even though it is highly improbable that the coastline of the
lake is vertical, making a constant surface area possible, I
will assume that to be the case. This problem would require
much more information otherwise. Sorry if this is pedantic."

Now taking place: math education conversation of the hour
"When I taught college freshmen, I did not check HW and sure
enough, most of those who (by observation) were not doing the
HW, failed and dropped out. Letting my HS'ers fail is not an
option I want to experiment with. I would rather not check HW,
but fear keeps me at it. :-("
