What an embarrassment. If you wanted evidence that campuses are now unserious places, note the nationwide effort to make commencements entertaining by featuring entertainers as speakers rather than scholars or intellectually relevant people.

If you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order, except for 998.

How Long a Plane Would Take to Reach Each Planet?

The following formula yields the correct decimal digits of π to 42 billion digits

The integral symbol ∫ introduced in 1675 was based on the ſ (long S) character, and was chosen because Leibniz thought of it as an ∞ sum
