Stand and Deliver

1) Phenomenal book and documentary about Jaime Escalante and his success in turning a class of 18 barrio students struggling with basic math from East L.A. in the poor public school of Garfield High into math enthusiasts who would go on to pass the AP Calculus Exam.
2) To give a good speech or lecture.
3) To assume a sexual position.

1) Escalante's famous math enrichment program would attain an apex of 85 students and many faculty members. His ability to turn a group of poorly prepared, undisciplined students into strong calculus practitioners is a shining light into the potential of teaching capability in the area of math and, eventually, the end of math anxiety among struggling students.
2) John Edgar Wideman, famous novelist and essayist, gave an incredible lecture and preliminary text reading of his work at my university recently. He stood and delivered!
3) "Hey baby! I see you looking at my goods. Do you want a sample? . . . Come over here. Stand and Deliver!"
- Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

bastarf

A child born in wedlock. Obviously, the antonym of bastard.

Many years ago in the deep South, illegitimate children were labeled "bastards" on their birth certificates. They were in small numbers. Nowadays, bastarfs are found in smaller numbers than they used to be.

Al-Khwarizmi

" The Father of Algebra." (780 - 845 C.E.) Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Musa Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician and astronomer. He wrote the famous book "Al-Kitab Al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab Al-Jabr Wa'l-Muqabala" ("The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing") in 830. The book offered a systematic and logical approach to solving linear and quadratic equations. This became the premise of algebra. He is also responsible for introducing the Hindu-Arabic numerals to the West, thus becoming the golden standard in global mathematics. He also refined Ptolemy's theories on geography to design the first map of the then "known world", wrote on spacial, time-mechanical devices such as the clock, astrolabe, and sundial, made a table of trigonometric functions, and geometrically interpreted the conic sections.

Sure. Newton created the calculus. Liebniz refined it. Kepler popularized it. Lambert generalized it. And Euler organized it. If it wasn't for Al-Khwarizmi, however, most people wouldn't even understand basic arithmetic.

And let's take it to the top where we belong,
Cause the age of the Beat Street wave is here.
