Diffy Q... was a joy, but for all the wrong reasons. Our prof was a unique man fully comfortable in his own skin, who also had an love bordering on fixation for Differential Equation Theory.
He always taught it. Always. And some of my more hilarious "college stories" come from his class. But his personal love for theory, combined with his...hummmm how shall I say it, lax grading made for a class where most of the even competent people received A's or B's, but we couldn't do a real world differential equation to save our life.
If I find the time to write it up... I will post a few of the better stories into my journal later today. =-)
Oh My.... Memories
