In fact, he knows just enough to be dangerous to himself. John also has an interest in the history of mathematics and has come to admire the wealth of knowledge that historians of mathematics possess. John encourages everyone to explore the history of mathematics, not only because it is our history, but because there are gems for the classroom to be found among the rubble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Thoo is a mathematics instructor at Yuba College in Marysville, CA, where he has been since 1995.
