HOLD the front page! Richard Taylor alerts us to a blog post by an American physics student in England last year at http://fliptomato.wordpress.com about a 1994 paper by M. M. Tai entitled: “A mathematical model for the determination of total area under glucose tolerance and other metabolic curves” (Diabetes Care, vol 17, p 152).
Just what is it about Tai’s finding that has made it worth a mention after all this time? As Flip Tomato suggests, let’s substitute a variable in the title: “A mathematical model for the determination of total area under x curves”. Now, anyone who persisted with mathematics into their…
