I remember learning this out of curiosity in the past, but math doesnt stick in my brain unless chemistry is used as a disguise. Where can I read about this method again? Will the wiki page on Gauss get me there efficiently enough?
I found that pretty handy. Came across it looking for a Numberphile video on the subject. I was pretty sure I’d seen one before but didn’t have a lot of luck finding it.
Just wanted to say thanks! Clicking your link made me realize I should try to figure out how to open up YT on PipePipe automatically, so now my phone works better :)

No problem. I have a script that automates generating the title and link to a video when sharing automatically.
I should look into having it do the same for pipe
So was he writing backwards, or did they print a custom flipped t-shirt?
I’ve always wondered how they do that. Because writing backwards would feel so weird to me
This appears to do a nice job with pictures. Although I did not read it all the way through. https://letstalkscience.ca/educational-resources/backgrounders/gauss-summation
