Math Professors Be Like

Just having lots of fun:)

Please leave any comments or questions in the comment section below. Thank you:)

When the prof says "it is easy to see" then he looks at his notes

[Gordonias]

Bonus points for english being the lecturers second language, and the lecturer randomly making annecdotes in their first language.

[Ryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

“Don’t worry about this proof, you’ll cover it next semester so we’ll skip over it for now”

Next semester: “you should know this proof from last semester, so we’ll skip over it”

[rodzila]

Prof: “Don't be ashamed of asking anything”
Student ask question.
Prof: “You should know that already!”

[ampmjuku]

Just forgot the one where, the student asks a question and the professor explains using the exact same example without really clarifying anything lol

[Bekathepirate]

“The proof is left as an exercise for the reader” is such chaos energy

[ZyTelevan]

prof: dy/dx is not a fraction and you shouldn't think of it as a fraction, it's just a notation
prof later: just multiply both sides of the equation by dx, which leaves us with just dy..

"If you really want to be prepared, just do every single problem in the book"
I've tried this, it works 🤓

I can feel my blood beginning to boil more with each "so it's easy to see"/"you can clearly see"/"you should check yourself". The amount of pain these few sentences have caused me over the years is unimaginable.

Felt like a real class. Didn't pay attention.

[ButiLao]

Not to forget
Student: "I believe you made a mistake there"
Teacher: "I just wanted to see if you're paying attention"
Yeah when I get something wrong in my tests I just want to see if you're correcting it thoroughly too

[lseul]

“Everyone Understand?

No one:

“Ok! Great Moving on!”

[phitsf]

Prof Astrid: "It's a conceptual move, not an algebraic one"
Today I found out that jokes can literally make one's sides hurt

[johndoh]

“Exams are 70% final is 30% and the HW is just good to do.”

Had me rolling!

*Comes in first day of University*

Math teacher: We are already behind by 5 chapters, we need to come in Saturday and Sunday for a full day...

[blackmesa]

Me: Hey professor, when are your office hours? Professor: Sure, absolutely! 2:13 A.M to 3:01 A.M every other Wendsday when the moon is between waning and waxing gibbon, and Mercury is in retrograde.

[Laszlo_Panaflex]

Abusive Calculus should be a class that everyone takes.

[ddognine]

True story: My senior year in college I took a Physical Chemistry class which was actually taught by a physics professor. Anyway, at some point, he spent nearly an entire lecture deriving the spherical Laplacian from the Cartesian one. It was like watching Michelangelo sculpt. He made quantum mechanics so easy, and i will never forget him. Wish more profs were like him.

[aidangarvey]

Man I remember my first attempt taking Discrete Math, and a lot of it really was like this video, except I was so unsure of my abilities that I actually DID nearly every question in the textbook and still failed. Just goes to show that it's all about grasping concepts in math, not memorization. Practice is great but you have to know __why__ you're doing what you're doing, and the best teachers are the ones that do that.

[SirKi-efvw]

Prof: so this next theorem is the most important part of this entire course, make sure you really understand it.
Also Prof: *erases the theorem 2 seconds after writing it down*
