First Order Condition...

There was a boy called Peter, he hated remembering things, so he became creative.


But he remaied true to the truths of reality, refusing to accept the mumbo-jumbo of science.

Yet he always remembered the important things...

In his groove he knew the answers to impossible questions

But all this power drove him to madness... and an unfortunate end.

In his fond memory, each year, we award the Retard Hat prize.

Long live Peter.

  2. Yohan, you give me too much credit. I found these drawings at random intervals between Dec 05 and yesterday. They are not my creation. I merely put them together.

    I do have a collection of "retard" answers that I've found while grading papers, but nothing of this calibre.

  4. But it still begs the question- where did you find them, if not on the answer papers you graded?

  5. Umm let's see. A couple were from my math professor, Prof. Bedient. A few were from Emily Tang, a fellow Hamiltonian. I think Amit Desai sent me a couple. Some I found while generally whiling my time away on the www.

    I remember using one of my students answers to illustrate reverse algorithms in natural fractals class. The guy had seemingly made a very simple solution to a garbled mess of algebra (which was creative, but still incorrect). I guess he liked the mathematical masturbation.
