Professor Howard, I know you told us
that we should know the math
concepts and not just how to do the
mechanics of the problems, but I
think that is stupid. Math was
discovered thousands of years ago
and hasn’t had anything new for a
long time, so all we should need to do
is learn the way people have decided
it should be done.

(A conversation between two of my
students before class.)
Student 1: Did you work problem 7
on the homework?
Student 2: Yes.
