professor...

No, not you, Prof.

My math professor almost got punched tonight.

"As the limit of the gap of miss goes to zero, the function of 'punch' goes to 'happened'"

He missed, but it wasn't by much. Prof leaned back.

Prof is easily in his 50's. Swinger is at least 30's or 40's. Both of Indian (the country) heritage.

About 10 minutes later, another guy walks in late, sees his exam, tells the prof to go in the hall with him (throwing a mad fit)...very heated exchange in the hallway ensues.

I made a 42. 3 people made 80's. Rest were in the 30-40-50 range. The class is from 7-8:20, we turned our exams in at 9:15.

What would you do?

Here is the key:

ah math, if it wasn't for math i would have graduated at least a full 1 gpa higher.

As a person who once gave an answer of -29 on a question about area what?

you can have a negative area in calculus. The improper integral from a line below the X axis to the X axis. Or from left of Y axus to Y axis. IIRC

Mag, when I entered college, I decided to have a double major...mathematics and physics. Algebra, trigonometry, and all the rest of the early math courses were a snap for me. Physics as well was easy for me, but college... Ten hours a semester with those two courses were a bit much for me, especially calculus. After 20 minutes in a calculus final that took most two hours to complete, I walked off the campus and joined the Air Force. At least I passed the physics test. No body told me that you had to study in college.

The problem was it was a geometry class...so to make myself seem smarter I called it theoretical geometry, it focuses on negative area and trying to create a triangle with 2 right angles I am a poli sci and history major for a reason.

Hmmm, kinda like "dark energy", it's there but you just can't see it.
