On intersecting periodic functions

I'm reading through Measurement by Paul Lockhart these days. He presents math as something that you just need to "get messy with". And moreover, suggests that we get messy together in asking ourselves challenging problems and developing clever arguments. Consider this an attempt at heeding Lockhart's advice. Today I asked the following question on twitter. … Continue reading On intersecting periodic functions
