| Title of Talk | Calculus Curiosities |
| Abstract | Over the years I have collected a lot of little-known mathematical curiosities and minutia from various books and journal articles. This talk is intended to be a "show and tell" for some of this material, mostly restricted to things that could be of use in first year calculus courses, or at least to things likely to be of interest to teachers of such courses. |

| Special Needs | I don't remember the term (Elmo?), but I would like a projector that can "read/project" printed paper. I can use a traditional overhead projector, but I need to know in advance so that I can purchase and prepare the appropriate transparency slides. |
