failing his freshman calculus class. I was honored to have the opportunity to help one of my friends in a capacity that I never had before. But, admittedly, I was a bit nervous, for I had not yet taken a formal course in calculus; however, I have spent significant length of time exploring abstract mathematical concepts on my own.

And Purity, or how free from pain? Through these dimensions, Bentham was able to give a number information detailing how much pain and pleasure a person could receive from a certain act. Here’s an example of Bentham’s calculus: If my professor was to go to a party, and become intoxicated through the use of cocaine, he would…
