Various advancements that have taken place in the world of teaching and learning especially with the pervasiveness of the internet and associated technologies.

So, for all you mathematical stars, here is what he presented us with:

Can you prove that 2 = 1?

Assume that x = y

It follows that x – y = 0

And that 2x – 2y = 0

Therfore, x – y = 2x – 2y.

Now, another way of writing 2x – 2y, as any mathematician will agree, is 2(x – y)

And another way of writing x – y is 1(x – y)

So…1(x – y) = 2(x – y)

Divide each side of the equation by (x – y) and you are left with…..1 = 2

Now you can go and scratch your heads as I did many years ago.
