Parallels between the Progressions and Modern Mathematics

Description

We look at key moments from the K-12 progressions, discussing both the mathematics and its historical development. We explain some parallel moments from modern mathematics where similar "moves" are made. Examples include the construction of the number line and "moduli spaces" and definitions of exponents and special functions.
