Evaluating Functions

Question 1 • CUSD Math 01 A (5.0)

While in college, why did Euler work through advanced math books on his own?

Answer
A
His father required it.
B
The quality of education offered was not satisfactory.
C
His teacher advised it because he did not have time to tutor Euler privately.
D
He wanted to come up with a method that would help builders find the best arrangement for a ship’s masts.

Explanation

Euler’s teacher, Johann Bernoulli, recognized his talent but could not tutor him privately because he was too busy. Instead, Bernoulli encouraged Euler to study advanced mathematics on his own and bring him questions. So the correct choice is that his teacher advised independent study because he did not have time to tutor Euler privately.
