Last year, I wrote a post on Duck Dodgers and coordinates, using real-life examples of coordinates. Today, when I was transcribing an old journal, I found an interesting observation, which was partially related to coordinates, and brought up another association. It won’t have any cartoons in it today, but I guess I’ll make it homework to the reader :p

[M.M.X.I.V. 182] Duck Dodgers
One of my favorite sixty-two-year-old cartoons will motivate this post.
This cartoon I am able to pull out some applicable math concepts from, and also distill a bad math joke. These involve coordinates and calculus. Don’t worry, this post should be accessible to everyone. I should have shown it in class today, but thought that would be a strange first impression for my students.
