No……do you?

I had a professor who did this. And I had no idea what he was saying. The heavy Russian accent didn’t help.

Both integral and differential calculus?

I think you made a mistake back at the start.

It is evident to a casual observer that x=e^ln(y)+i

But why the CUBE of CosX ?

In a time long ago … and far away …. I remember doing stuff like that ;-)

“…and, that’s how a couple of teenage girls solved the Pythagorean Theorem.”

“Hey! That’s right!”

Actually, no. Could you go back to the beginning and start over? Thanks.

Almost everything cancels and the answer is 42.

You lost me at the area under the curve !

Profsplaining.

Let’s say I do, will I need to prove it?

“Not really, but it sure looks pretty.”

I don’t cotton to that mather. It’s such an increase.

No idea what so ever. But it’s written on very straight ( invisible) lines. Better than any chalkboard writting I’ve seen before. Almost like a cartoonist used a ruler or something.

And as the prof starts erasing a large area of the board to start drawing the most important part of the lesson, he asks “Has everyone got this copied?”

Ha ha that’s a good one

The proof is left as an exercise for the student. “I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.” — Pierre de Fermat, ca. 1670

Just because you come up with a bunch of equations and drawings and graphs doesn’t mean it means something when you put all together and display it on the board.

answer is 42

And Satan said, “Put the alphabet into math.” And there was algebra, and he saw that it was Evil.

that’s why I failed calculas

He’s hoping they will tell him what all that on the blackboard means because he is exhausted and lost his train of thought.

Looks like the blackboard in Prof. Solomon’s class-Third rock From sun.

Reminds me of a simpler time doing the Henderson–Hasselbalch (headache) equation.

Sorry, you lost me at ~=x3-d4

I wanted to go into rocket science. I settled for medicine instead. The calculus is easier.

What are we solving for?

He forgot to add “Yo” at the end of his sentence.

That cannot be right! e=mc² is missing and everyone knows that whenever equations are shown that formula must be there.

I had a physics course in college where the chalkboard (remember those) space was limited, so he’d write with one hand and erase with the other. (well, almost)

High Intelligence and common sense are not usually found together in the same person.

I hear ya, man!

My favorite line was always, “And the rest I’ll leave as an exercise for you students.”

Yes.

Snicker snicker. ROLF also. I also like Zykoic remarks. Another snicker snicker.

Can you repeat that, professor? OY!
