Saludos Primo!!

I've hated this tool since scombridae.

Great looking bunch. Best wishes for the upcoming year and everyone’s future endeavors. … loved the bloopers!

I love this guy, he’s so bored talking about the mundane things of life. Wha5 a freaking brilliant guy, china will steal you in a heart beat

As a 2 time 5A UIL CS State Champion, I can't wait for more CS content! I like the plans for UIL CS next year (sadly I'm graduated), but I will stay in touch with the community. Also thanks to Mr. Armstrong for sharing his knowledge, especially about college and career.

I was the only Freshman ever in Paul's QBasic class of Seniors the year before they stopped offering it. He didn't just jump straight to computer science. *sigh* Us computer math kids had to teach Paul C++ 😂 he was too busy dating a supermodel at the time. You probably don't remember my name but you made me remember bubble sort! Paul, I request a change to the curriculum, teach these poor kida to do stuff in a GUI like add buttons and text so they arent stuck in ms-dos land doing big int. They need to be able to sell their software! This is Cody aka cpu/neo You took our CS class to watch the first viewing of the matrix... My classmates made fun of the theatre owner because he looked like Santa Clause... We played descent 2 on 486dx2 overdrive systems... Remember me? I am a product of PMS. I write high speed trading robots, and would love to consult with Paul on some code optimization and even share profit if he wanted to collaborate. Tell him go find Cody! I already tried contacting Paul he just ignores all my requests. I wanna be that cool old student that drops by and goes eyyyyyy and brings donuts or something... I was the freshman goth kid!!! LOL in QBasic! Cs1082 or... Forgot my netware username lol

MR GARZA ON TOPPP 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Besides all he is american

This Helped a lot thank you

Comment le contacter ??

love this guy, his lectures with the great courses got me interested in math.

You have made good points--all valuable, but I would like to temper one of them. You have had Prof. Po-Shen Loh on, and he has some interesting perspectives that I have read about and I had been learning separately and ultimately had some good conversations with him. You said that working in isolation helps to achieve goals of being a champion. I went that path myself and there are indeed some major benefits of doing that, but in training competitive teams myself for quite a few years and watching closely what makes individuals and teams tick (and their differences), some time is needed in for individuals to put in some dedicated concentrated work alone, but there is benefit to work with others, sharing ideas and approaches while encouraging and inspiring each other. Many problems have multiple ways of being solved reasonably efficiently, and in our individual work we will learn different techniques, so when we work together and compare solutions, often we separately come up with rather different techniques that when we share, all of us can learn from, and I improve, and others improve. Too often, hard-care isolationists think of the practice process as a zero-sum game--if I help somebody else, that hurts me. But if I have just learned a technique and explaining it to somebody else, I get to see how well I actually understand, and I realize aspects that I don't understand as well as I thought I did and other aspects are more deeply rooted in my mind. Sometimes explaining to somebody else I technique I have used successfully a long time can trigger questions in myself or the other person that cause me to pursue the subject more deeply that I might be able to broaden the applicability of the technique or change some steps to be even faster or simpler, or you realize there is a restriction that you were not aware of before. Prof. Loh is very much into learning through sharing--even with outside countries participating in his training of the US Team for the International Math Olympiad--encouraging and celebrating excellence. Then, too, some people just cannot handle a lot of isolation either, and they can be encouraged by knowing that there is a role for learning and sharing together with other people--otherwise, they may refuse to take that first step. And, yes, I am interested in doing a video with you. I have been thinking some about that and the above is one lesson I would plan to mention.

How will awards be distributed? Will it be for all or divided by grade?

atleast they gave trophies for math in us, in india they just give lame medals

What test material are you guys gonna be using? I believe TMSCA 1 and SAC (and of course the virtual meets) are the only testing material that comes out that early, unless y'all are creating your own tests.

Evan has matured well.

Jeremy is the most brilliant, humble, kind, and gentle person I have ever known ❤️

slayyy!

I would personally call this year the strongest year for 6A in a long while, and potentially a while to come. Through my own research, I concluded that 19/25 calculator applications contestants in 6A were seniors. For potentially the first time in calculator applications history, a 301 that someone actually scored was not enough to place. And 341 is most certainly a state record, as stated in the video. In mathematics, the strongest seniors and juniors joined together to create some of the strongest top 7 math scores on the most difficult math test I have ever seen, as well as other strong contestants that got caught off guard by its difficulty fighting for the lower spots. Justin Lai, who won state as a sophmore, got third. Out of the entire top 7, only Eric Li is coming back to 6A. Number Sense perhaps the exception to this trend. Justin Lai got his state championship he had been naturally building for after each year. Edinburg North is filled with talented juniors and sophmores, and Clements has Kevin Chen. In number sense, the greatest is yet to come. Even so, the talent present among Edinburg North and Clements is insane, and likely to rival the top contestants of any other year. And, well, I should probably talk about CS too. Honestly, they kind of made it impossible to guage actual seperation of CS skill on that state test, at least for 6A. However, I will say that even on the easiest tests, its rare for so many people to snatch a perfect, and for an entire team to have a perfect written section team score. The programming this year, past district at least, was also very difficult. Finally, science, which I don't actually do and therefore struggle to guage. However, I can say that Luke Ting is outclassed by basically nobody, and could dominate the state champion from nearly any other year.

Very Helpful👍

Hey I know that guy...

Nice show

GO EAGLES🦅🦅🦅

Very nice summary of the connection of binomial expansions and the Pascal triangle. Now, using the formula for the expansion of (1+1)^n shows why the sum of the entries in row n of the Pascal triangle [the 1 at the apex being row n=0] is equal to 2^n. Similarly, the expansion of (1-1)^n shows why the alternating difference and sum of the entries in row n, which is 0 for n>0. Interestingly, for row 0 there is only the one entry 1, so there is nothing to subtract or add yielding a result of 1, demonstrating one of a variety of reasons that 0⁰ should be regarded as 1, not undefined as is often stated in secondary school textbooks. Likewise for expanding (a+0)^n and (0+b)^n.

Knowing some number sense strategies and being able to do operations quickly in ones head without the calculator should save time for my intense problems. Nice explanation.

Mr. Cantu, how may I contact you? Can you please provide me your phone number or email address. Thanks.

How may I contact Dr. Dunham? Could you please provide me his phone number or email address. Thanks.

How may I contact Dr. Loh? Can you please provide me his phone number or email address. Thanks.

Nicely done. Great job all year, Saul.

This is great, thank you for doing this interview!

Excellent, timeless advice for both UIL and life overall.

Spoiler alert! They won :)

Go Wall Hawks! ❤

W OUTRO

Has anyone ever won number sense all 4 years in high school?

Hey it’s my teacher Edit: yay someone actually liked me

Does anyone have registration information for the Sabine Camp?

As someone who has taught/been at both camps, I should mention that the “advanced”classes at the Sabine Camp are much more challenging than the ones at Texas Tech. If anyone’s interested

Great video!

"God gave me a gift" -.-'

Can you pls make a video on tips about calculator applications, I am a freshman in a 1a school who scored a 70 in regionals this year ( Zavier Fuentes from Bynum, region 4) the top score was around a 200, is their any more tips you could provide to help me make my way to state

Kirby was our TMSCA coach at North Shore. He is only 1 of 3 other high school teachers whose name I remember; especially now with the old saw adage that we have to move on with life at some point and evolve and let go of the washed-up people in the past. Kirby irrevocably merited a 1 million dollar annual salary for his superstar discipline & his energy in the teaching arena. I pray in Christ that the North Shore team continues to stay strong even after he has retired. Kirby is a a true hero with a legendary & mythical career as a teacher. Mr. Saul Cantu is similarly on the same magnitude as Kirby; both coaches are an unrelenting examples of INSPIRATION for those seeking to pursue STEM-related fields as well as other creative pursuits that branch out of STEM. I pray for our tormented Hispanic Texas youth which is in burning, desperate need of high-quality teachers that actually want to work and that have true flair & talent in this industry.

A school with no homework?? Take me to this paradise

Thanks soooo much for this in depth interview with Evan, a genius who is very magnanimous with his knowledge via multiple presentation platforms. Love his comment about challenging his junior high teacher regarding the uniqueness of the prime factorization of a natural number. It follows from if p divides a1a2a3....an, then p divides ai some 1<= i<=n. Very few middle/high school teachers know this and just assert the uniqueness possibly just believing it follows from the definition of prime number. Also Fermat's little theorem as a bijection where the result essentially follows from Cayley's theorem. Sphere analogy about enormous magnitude of specialization in mathematics also quite illuminating!

Enjoyed the interview with Vik. It is interesting to note that there were three state champions in 5A math in 2015. All three, Vik, Hassan Ashqeen, and Darius Davis, scored 340. I believe it was the only time that there was a triple championship. It was always a lot of fun with Vik, Hassan, Darius, and Jack Terrell. Best wishes, Vik on your PHD.

this content is great

My GOAT fr

Can’t wait for calculator state!

Note about how the possible error on math would effect Grand Oaks: According to our calculations, if it was indeed wrong and was fixed, me and Dominic would get it right and Ivan would now get it wrong, increasing our team score to 1012. Dominic would also become the first person in Grand oaks history with a perfect score on a new UIL test. (Computer Science tests this year and last don't count, because cmon)
