Damn hippies!

As my questionably sober calculus 2 professor used to say..
"And what do you do with this radical? Do you shoot 'em like a hippie from the sixties?"

Idk why it reminded me of that...

I don't think they are hippies, but they certainly do smell. They try to come in our building from time to time.

My calc prof was a snooty British version of Sheldon Cooper. If a student had any trouble he would just advise the pursuit of something other than mathematics. He was clearly on the autism spectrum.

That sounds just like my calc 3 professor. Except not British, just Sheldon.

My calc2 Prof was like... You seen Cobra Kai on Netflix? He was like Reese, but actually knew math. And he was my boss in the math/science help center.

I had mine for 2 and 3. The prevalence of Asperger's (or whatever) in scientific academia is amazing.

TLDR: That does happen.

One winter night, when I was either 16 or 17, I was driving though a rural area that I was only moderately familiar with. Snow was forecast, but MI lake effect kicked in resulting in full blizzard conditions. Like can't see the end of the hood with the headlights on, drive with only the parking lights, wall of snow blizzard.

I stopped "on the road" after proceeding through a 4-way stop, left my car door open, and ran across the street to brush off the street sign to find out where I was. As I turned back to my car, the wind blew closed the long, heavy (relative to vehicle weight), door of my '87 Cavalier Coupe, and I watched as the car slid sideways into the ditch.

This was well before kids had cell phones, so I dug the snow out from around the radiator and exhaust and sat and waited for someone to come along. The first vehicle to happen along was a 2wd S-10 or Ranger carrying a tow strap for when it gets stuck. It did not prove successful pulling my car out. The second car to come along lost control approaching the 4-way stop, went off-road, and got hung up on a barbed-wire fence. Thankfully, the third vehicle along was (I want to say) a Suburban (it might have just been a full-size truck with a cap, either was it was big, heavy, and 4wd).

So, the third vehicle used the tow strap from the first vehicle to pull me out of the ditch, then all of us together dug out the second vehicle, so the third vehicle could pull it out as well. About the time we were connecting the tow strap between vehicles two and three, a fleet of emergency vehicles (ambulances, firetrucks, police) materialized from the storm. The nearest house (1/4 mile away), saw the commotion, the increasing concentration of lights at the intersection, and rightly assumed the intersection was icy, but wrongly interpreted it was in increasing multi-car pileup and called 911. None of the first responders seemed thrilled to be out in that weather, although all were happy nobody was injured.

The best part was, since my car was on the road and driveable when the police arrived, they had no evidence to cite me for driving too fast for the conditions, unlike the lady in vehicle two.

Why are math professors always so strange?

One of mine (calc3 and linear algebra) loved saying "anyway" but as "in a way", among other things.

Another one of mine (calc2) was one of those older dudes who mumble and talk veeery slowly and his favorite contraction (?) for starting sentences or phrases was "Annnnd, sooo..."

Not all are strange but there is a preponderance. I had some weird ones in my mechanical engineering department as well. Then there were the PhD candidates. There were a few oddballs but one in particular seemed as though he was ready to pop at any moment. I felt truly sorry for him. Competition for that tenured professorship is astronomical. I loved my physics professor. We spent countless hours just shooting the shit. He was obsessed with the magnetic monopole and wanted me to go into research. I didn't have the balls. I knew my competition and while I was fascinated with the concepts, there was no way I could measure up.
