Linkfest for Monday, March 3

• Maria Droujkova was interviewed in The Atlantic! Woo hoo! Go, Maria. The title? Five-Year-Olds Can Learn Calculus.
• In the LA Times, Edward Frenkel describes how he thinks our tired old math curriculum cheats kids.
• John Conway video, on his Game of Life, and a second one, describing what led up to him inventing it. (Thanks, Aperiodical!)
• I want to know more of the backstory behind today's xkcd. Can anyone tell me more about this?
• Robert Talbert on self-regulated learning. I am thinking about sharing this with my calculus class.
