Oh No Not I = f(x+3)^2
Ok, as a math major, I can find the humor in this. I'm just surprised the author came up with it as he doesn't seem to have that much personality. Makes me want to record my rendition of "I use Google" to the tune of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful". By the way, I'd love to get my hands on the college adviser who told me "you'll be much more marketable as a Math/Comp Sci major than as a Computer Based Systems Management major ". Riiiiiiiiight. Nice call, Clem. Maybe in 1991 when dinosaurs still ruled the world and 50% of all programming jobs were government defense contracts! Had my alma mater had the foresight to see business applications taking off, maybe I wouldn't have been studying Calc IV, Differential Equations & Abstract Algebra into the wee morning hours. Oh well, what's done is done.....I've still never had anyone ask me to find the area of a peanut using the cylindrical shell method. Thirty-three credits of upper level math starting with Calc I. Did it teach me to be a better thinker? Did it teach me to solve problems systematically? Not sure. I think it just confirmed that I have a short attention span and I get frustrated easily! Did somebody say peanuts? Pass those over here. Oh, Doc R, if you happen to be reading this - those 6 credits of Statistical Analysis will always be my favorites of the 33. I love me some stats for breakfast.

Now come on! You took Differential Equations with me and my best memory of that class is when you had me laugh so hard I had to leave the class.
You big goof.
i can still imitate him so well it makes Big W laugh every year at the tailgate.
we all had to leave graphics class once as well.
