The advantage of using this method is: its easy to do integrate-by-parts mechanically. Without even needing to exert a large amount of thinking about the special circumstances of the problem. The process is fairly quick to memorize and it is very easy to retain. After you learn it once, it will always be at your disposal as a tool for quickly and easily determining indefinite integrals that would otherwise take lot of time to find.
Great teachers are typically unknown beyond the immediate circle of their students, colleagues, and families. That was not the case with Jaime Escalante. Escalante taught calculus with outstanding success at Garfield High, in a tough Hispanic neighborhood of East Lost Angeles.
Mr. Escalante’s success was portrayed in the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, for which Edward James Olmos, who played Escalante, received an Oscar nomination. At its height, Escalante’s program at Garfield saw 85 students pass the Advanced Placement calculus test, more than at any but a handful of high schools across the nation. A dedication ceremony for the stamp honoring the late Jaime Escalante, who used unconventional methods to inspire students to master calculus, was held Saturday at Garfield High School. |
