//chaotic schwartz anthology, september 21 //this was during a lesson using an applied-linear-algebra problem based on student suggestions "We're going to use this maths for some real-world applications. Anyone who's been in one of my classes before knows that there's a catch, because anything in my class won't work in real life." "How much fun is in cat food? 2. There are two fun in cat food." "How much hydrochloric acid is in cat food? 10." "And how much charcoal is in cat food? Negative three. When you eat cat food, it sucks three charcoal out of you." "I'm so glad I can give examples that are relevant to your everyday life. I want to make sure you know how much nutrition to get from your cat food." "Some of you might prefer flavoured solid rocket fuel, which has some added charcoal." "If I want to calculate how much fun you're eating, I need to know how much cat food you eat each day -- I don't know how much; that will, of course, vary for each of you ..." "We want to make sure that you get enough hydrochloric acid every day." "Disclaimer: please don't eat hydrochloric acid. Please don't eat anything that isn't food for human consumption."
