Power Rule
This is found by taking the definite integral of the "top" function minus the "bottom" function over a specific interval
Area Between Curves
This value is, by definition, the smallest prime number

According to legend, this mathematician was inspired to formulate the theory of universal gravitation after watching an apple fall from a tree
Sir Isaac Newton
The ancient Egyptians used Hieroglyphics for their number system. Which number was represented by a lotus flower?

These occur where the derivative of a function is either zero or undefined.
Critical Points
This vector operation results in a scalar and is used to determine if two vectors are perpendicular
Dot Product
There are 10 black socks and 10 white socks(no left-right distinction) in the wardrobe. Your task is to draw the minimum number of socks at random to be sure you have a pair of a single color.
How many socks should you draw?

Fibonacci
Pascal & Fermat
This is a vector that has a magnitude of 1 and is perpendicular to a surface at a given point
Unit Normal Vector
This integration technique is essentially the "Product Rule" in reverse, often remembered by the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫vdu
Integration by Parts
Natural objects, such as ferns, often exhibit these patterns of similar structures at smaller and larger scales
Fractals
This famous German mathematician has a rival claim to Sir Issac Newton as the inventor of calculus

This theorem states that for a smooth curve between two points, there is at least one point where the tangent is parallel to the secant line through the endpoints
Mean Value Theorem
This type of derivative is taken with respect to one variable while holding all other variables constant
Partial Derivative
On the fabled Island of Knights and Knaves, we meet three people, A, B, and C, one of whom is a knight, one a knave, and one a spy. The knight always tells the truth, the knave always lies, and the spy can either lie or tell the truth.
A says: "C is a knave."
B says: "A is a knight."
C says: "I am the spy."
Who is the knight, who the knave, and who the spy?
A - Knight
B - Spy
C - Knave
This "Prince of Mathematicians" supposedly shocked his teacher by summing the numbers 1 to 100 in seconds as a child
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Which mathematician's last theorem, even though it was simple enough to be known to be true, remained unproven for over 350 years until it was proved by Andrew Wiles in 1994
Pierre de Fermat
This rule allows you to evaluate limits of the form 0/0 or INFINITY/INFINITY by taking the derivative of the numerator and denominator.
L’Hôpital’s Rule
This specific series, the sum of 1/n , is famous for being the simplest example of a series that diverges to infinity even though its individual terms approach zero
