You Haz Cheesecake in Mah Calculus?

People only seem to remember something if it was interesting or if it was weird.

We remember (the honorable) William Howard Taft, the 27the president of the United States, because of his ability to get stuck in a bathtub and, to a lesser extent, being the only president who served as a Supreme Court Justice.

We remember (James) Strom Thurmond, 1948 Dixiecrat presidential candidate, because of his epic name and his 24 hour 18 minute filibuster in opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

 Ironically had a illegitimate daughter from a black maid

Now, what exactly does this have to do with cheesecake and... Calculus? 

Well, as we all know, cheesecake is a delicacy that brings a multitude of heavenly tastes upon our tastes buds. Every spoonful is a taste of the sustenance that heavenly angels dine on. The silky smooth combination of cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice, and whatever decadent toppings you wish to add with the warm graham cracker crust melts in your mouth as your brain begins to comprehend the delightful experience.

 OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

Calculus, on the other hand, is not tasty, not remotely interesting (to most people), and weird as hell (most of the time). Sadly, this "weird as hell" is not weird-obese-William-Howard-Taft-remembering kind of weird. 

Lolwut?

In order to remedy this problem, this blog will be dedicated to approaching Calculus in a weird-yes-now-I-remember-because-of-cheesecake way. I will attempt to use a tasty desert, along with other equally tasty foods, in order to explain certain concepts of Calculus.
