//We're in complex, trying to define interior, exterior, and boundary points of regions in terms of "epsilon balls" and "punctured epsilon balls" (yes, these are real terms). //The class is going back and forth over which of the balls in which of the three definitions should be punctured. They ultimately decide that none of the balls should be punctured. Brian: Moral of the story: don't puncture your balls. //Later, Stein walks in because we're making a lot of noise Stein: This class is so loud. Schwartz: That's wonderfully ironic.

Schafer: When you have kids, just think of ways you can mess up their lives.

Schafer was talking about his child-rearing practices: reading Thomas the Tank Engine to his son in various British accent so he pronounces some words Britishly, wanting to teach his son red and blue backwards, etc.
