This week, we continue to honor Latinx heritage. We recognize the Bolivian American math teacher, Jaime Escalante. Escalante is famous for helping struggling students in Los Angeles pass the AP Calculus test year after year. Escalante always loved math and celebrated his indigenous Aymara heritage, often saying that “The Aymara knew math before the Greeks and Egyptians.”
