Ugh. People are making fun of this girl because, I guess, she *sounds* vapid, but the truth is, she's asking genuinely intellectually curious questions about math! Calculus *IS* abstract! And higher level-math isn't rooted in the tangible world. These are great questions to ask! https://twitter.com/aIeturner/status/1298372968838508546

it's one of the worst elements of the internet that an anonymous teenage girl will be publicly ridiculed by hundreds of thousands of strangers for whatever random algorithmic reason. And again: these are GOOD QUESTIONS FOR A HIGH SCHOOL KID TO ASK! https://twitter.com/graciegcunning/status/1298804338727489536

everyone dunking on this girl for asking about how mathematicians came up with their ideas should have to explain the origin of the idea, and then the proof behind L'Hôpital's rule in layman's terms easy enough for a 16 year old to understand.
