the rewards can be educational, inspirational, or financial. Nice to see that at least one academic educational writer did fantastically out of his work.

 

James Stewart’s calculus text books made him very rich. He spent his fortune on Integral House, an award-winning architectural marvel inspired by calculus, which is now on sale after he died last year

 

“I think it’s one of the most important private houses built in North America in a long time,” Glenn D Lowry, director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, told the Wall Street Journal. “The curved walls make it almost impossible to relate it to spaces that you know. It’s one of the most remarkable houses I’ve ever been in.”
