I have this totally awful prof for calculus, he spends the whole class talking to the board, and he writes too small for anyone to read. He much prefers doing theory and proofs to doing examples, and when he does do examples he doesn't prepare the answers ahead of time and makes mistakes constantly. By the end of an example problem, he's made so many mistakes and changed so many things that the actual process is more or less impossible to follow.
I was complaining to my mom about this, and she goes "It isn't Platt, is it?"
Yeah, my mom had the same calc prof back in 1982. She hated him for all the same reasons, worked her butt off to get a C and ran away without ever looking back.

no math ("maths") prof ever gets fired.
They are too hard to find and hire in the first place, since they are so much in demand in business and industry.
so i do hear.

Can't say I find that surprising.
Who majors in math, anyway? No one.
But you needed it for all sorts of sciences as a prereq.

I had a crush on a math major. Well, I had a crush on a kid in like middleschool who turned out to be a math major. He did trick shots on pool tables and I got a crush on him all over again, but we only saw each other once in high school and I haven't heard from him since.
I wonder if he ever got that math degree.

i know a guy who had zero verbal skills and awesome math ability, just the opposite of me.
he almost flunked out, but convinced the school- with the intercession of his math profs- to let him finish out by just taking higher level math courses.
he got all A's and pulled up his average enough to graduate.
he now has a cushy job as an actuary.
oh those happy lucky math peoples.

Ok so everyone knows math majors but me xD
Math is one of the departments at my uni with almost no majors in it. (And most of them are asian, actually).

...I like math. Given the courses I take and my job in tech support, half the people I know are math majors. sweatdrop
(The other half are computer science majors. It's almost the same subject.)

Nah, I don't know any people majoring in maths. Closest I know is people doing actuarial studies. I'm pretty sure there's a massive lack of people studying maths here - they're having trouble getting maths teachers, etc.
