//Unit featuring Captain Zero and Infinitus in Analysis 1B Stein: So I never really understood limits with infinity and zero until I thought of them like superhero battles. //Later Stein: You have x and e^x as x approaches infinity. They are both superheroes. But x is like, one of those wimpy superheroes, like The Thing. But e^x...e^x is like one of those superheroes that you want to take to homecoming and do that freaky dancing that all the parents get mad about.

Stein: So I was trying to find a good example of a real life exponential function. Bacteria doesn't work. And money doesn't work, it eventually runs out. So I could only think of one: Love.

Stein: When I was in grad school, I had this math teacher who was really fat. He was like, three of me! Student: Oh my god. Stein: Whenever we walked into his office for help, he would be lying down on his couch. He would make us go to the whiteboard and tell us what to write. One day, he told us, "You may not think that I do any math, but I do! On my couch! In my head! You kids need to have more couch time..." I didn't learn a lot from that teacher, but the one thing I learned from him was that it's necessary to have "couch time"

//Analysis 1A is learning to take the derivative of exponentials Rose: Nicole Choi, you're like one of those people who goes into the forest and gathers beetles. Every time you encounter a new beetle, you just pull out your little book of photos and see if it looks kind of like a beetle you've seen before. That's not going to work here. This is a new beetle.

Rose: It's also called the Sandwich Theorem, because y'know, you've got g and h making a sandwich around f, like it's cheese or ham or whatever you want to put in there... Student: You should serve it with polynomial soup!

// Mr. Ostrander walks in to Analysis 1A Ostrander: Sorry Mr. Stein, I can't get you a code. Blaha has one, though. Stein: What!?! Why don't I get a number? Ostrander: Well, I have this theory. All the responsible teachers get one, while... Stein: But ROSE got one! Ostrander: Well, then my theory is dead.
