Fascinating article!

I think Chess could be learned and enjoyed by all ages. It just takes some dedication.

Hmm, I think it might be easier for young people to get better at chess because they are not burdened with the responsibilities of an adult. Also Chess is prominently pattern recognition which may play a role in chess development in older people, since the recall maybe slower.

This is a pretty cool story. A shame they got caught. :(

I highly recommend Professor Leonard's videos to anyone struggling with Calculus.

I must also confess that his ability in helping me understand and fall in love with Calculus two years ago was the main impetus for me to select Mathematics as my major. I'm now focusing my attention on Number Theory with high hopes of one day becoming a Theoretical Mathematician.

I should also add that Princeton Companion book to Mathematics is a valuable resource for learning what is out there in Pure Mathematics.

Makes sense too, America is way too dangerous to have kids wait for buses in the dark. No doubt they would be kidnapped almost immediately.

Here in Finland, schools start at 9 or 8 depending on schedule and end between 1 and 3 with enough time for Sport after. I think moving up school time would be feasible for US too. As an Exchange student during my HS years, waking up at 0515 was just insane.
