//chaotic schwartz anthology, january 30 "[Despicable Me character = Vector = complex numbers] is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct." "This class has Analysis 2 as a prereq. I am the only person at Blair teaching Analysis 2. How convenient." "How can I ask this question in a way that doesn't give everything away?" "You know you're really getting far in maths when they no longer treat your name as a proper noun, but write it in lowercase." "Wow, we got to this part of the lesson in 30 minutes. That's a new record. ... Don't clap for that. It's not an achievement. We just did things in a different order." "What's purple and commutes? ... An abelian grape. ... Don't laugh at that." "How can complex numbers be real if our eyes aren't real?" "Zero's just a concept. It's a state of being." "[The butterfly lemma] doesn't actually look like a butterfly -- but we pretend it does to make the person who named it happy."
