The Dummies Guide to Bizus
Bizu in Portuguese origin comes from a tip given on the eve of a test that would fall the Bezout’s Theorem.
And really, in that test the Bezout Theorem fell, it was part of that test.
From then on, some students began to ask “what would be the test Bezout?”.
Which is the Bezout? I want the Bizu. “Passe o bizu”…
Then came the “Portuguese” bizu, meaning hot or almost certain tip.
It is considered its origin in the military because it was where it was most popular, due to the lifestyle of the Military Schools. It helps the creation of vocabulary.
When The Royal Portuguese Family came to Brazil, he brought in his entourage several teachers from Coimbra.
These teachers were placed at the Royal Military Academy.
Mathematics classes were the terror of the students until they discovered that the teachers used, as the basis of the lessons and tests, a book by a French author named Etienne Bezout.
