Perhaps I should elaborate. Last semester, our Calculus III students learned
double integration the old-fashioned way. They each built slices out of Lego
bricks using instructions I whipped up; when they lined up their slices (with
the help of letter tiles), they ended up with the surface defined by
z=7+6cos(x^2+y^2). Isn’t that great?

Geez, if my instructor used LEGO to demonstrate integration, I’m sure I wouldn’t
have struggled as much in my university math courses...
