//Complex Schwartz: As an undergrad, I was in this abstract algebra class with 4 students in it. One of them was a middle schooler. He was just enrolled in one of our classes, and he did problem sets with us. One day he came into class super excited and said: (high pitched voice) "Hey guys! My mom said you guys can come over to our house and work on the problem set together!" Now, back then, we didn't have cars because we were college students. So, his mom picked each of us up and drove us to his house. I think we did our abstract algebra homework in what was effectively his play room. The best part is, his mom would bake cookies for us, which we ate while doing the problem set.

//Complex, in the middle of a lecture Abigail (speaking rapidly): I need a red pen to draw this colorful advertisement about communism and against capitalism!!! //Schwartz passes over a red pen Rtse: Mr. Schwartz, you should have asked for money. Schwartz: I was giving the pen for free since it was paid for by the hard-working taxpayers by this county. This shows the inherent corruption of capitalist society.

//Complex, discussing analytic functions //Schwartz writes "Analyticity" on the board Joseph: If there's analyticity, then what about analytize? Schwartz: ... I am now hesitant to coin terms based off the word "analytic", because it contains a word... that appears on your transcript. About 5 years ago, I had this student named Teddy. He convinced me to use the word "analicious" to denote being happy about a function being analytic. He totally knew what he was doing, but I was completely unaware and kept saying it for 2-3 weeks.

//Complex Schwartz: From here on, every even day should be publicly declared to be odd. But then, once school starts, Ms. Fus should whisper to the intercom: "It's actually an even day!" Then, *maybe* the snow will finally stop on even days.
