This is a collection of papers that high school teacher Kenny Fleder and his brother Gary, a professor in the Physics Department of Smith College, wrote to explain various concepts in math and physics. Some of the mathematical concepts addressed here include: "Why is it when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive number?," base eight calculations, an overview of trigonometry, and an explanation of how to use select models of scientific calculators.
