My great great grandfather (1873-1925) was an alumni of Florence Normal School, which is now the University of North Alabama. He went on to become a high school math teacher for the Jefferson County school system. I definitely did not inherit his math genius but he was easily the highest IQ member of my family, even counting family members today. He also spoke fluent Latin and Greek. With all this potential, he could have taught at an Ivy League University, but his father was a school teacher as well so I guess he wanted to do the same for his community.

After 50 to 100 years, if people then revive pads used right now or recover onenotes from cloud, what will they comment on our notes made in college classes now?
That’s quite fascinating to see!
Looks like some homework/answering questions related to velocity of objects exposed to the acceleration of gravity (~32.2 f/s^2 or 9.8 m/s^2)
E.g. question 13 was probably something like “What will happen to a ball launched upward at an initial speed of 161 ft/sec?”
And the answer is it will rise until v (he seems to use lower case v to be velocity and upper case V to be V1 or initial velocity) becomes 0, ie., till gt (gravity x t) becomes equal to V1. Then says 32.2 x t = 161 (so we know that was the initial upward speed), answer it stops rising when t=5.
The next question (14) must have been something like “What is the situation 1 second later?” and the answer is then it will be traveling downward at a rate of 32.2 ft/sec solving the equation for when t=6
