Math 511

Let's not beat around the bush...our math class is pretty fast paced, but not impossible.  For this reason, I think Dave is able to pay attention a little more while taking some serious notes.  Therefore, you won't find too many pictures, but those that I did find accurately portrays Dave's attitude of math: a necessary evil!


Here's What I Think About Math Exams! c. Oct 2000.
This is somewhat difficult to see, since Dave had to switch his medium from pen and ink to pencil, but this is an image of an atomic bomb explosion.  


Donuts...Is There Anything They Can't Do?  c. Oct 2000.
This title was apparently taken from an episode of The Simpsons, a popular television series of the time.  Like the pizza sketch in the review session, Dave must have again been hungry, converting his mathematical torus into a doughnut.  Note his "n" (normal) vectors drawn both on the outer edge and inside of the hole of the subject.


A Can of Stokes' Theorem.  c. Oct 2000
According to testimony from classmates, Dave had offered to the math professor that we could visualize the surface of a cylinder as a can of beer, and a solid of a cylinder as the beer itself.  So Dave drew his cylinder as a Coors can.  He must have been craving some at the time.


x^2+y^2-z^2=Howie.  c. Oct 2000
This was drawn the week the family dog was neutered, and Dave must have been overcome by worry about leaving his puppy, named Howie, alone at home with a large plastic cone about his head, to prevent licking his stitches.
