We've been watching these videos in my math class on calculus from some "Great Lectures" series and when my math teacher first put them in I pointed at the TV and yelled, "Hey, I know him!" and scared the entire class. It was Dr. Michael Starbird, the guy with the math games at TASP. Here's the highlight of the lecture: A policeman pulls you over for driving through a stop sign. You claim you weren't really moving because at any one moment you're in only one given space, unfortunately the two officers are Newton and Liebnitz and they throw the book at you, the calculus book. That sounds worthy of the Phllipines' driving test.
