Posted by chrisd on from the limit-as-it-approaches-my-grades-in-school dept.

DeAshcroft writes "Science Daily is reporting that one Martin Bohner's work, "Asymptotic Behavior of Dynamic Equations on Time Scales," has made significant waves (ahem) in the mathematical community. The work is "part of a fairly new and exciting effort to unify continuous and discrete calculus" I guess it's time to re-learn long division."
