Triple integrals got you down? Stokes' theorem kicking your ass? Well, fret no longer. You have just enrolled in the University of Washington's Advanced Calculus Course, Math 324. You will master the complex mathematics of continuous change in no time. The professor of the course, sixty-year-old Dr. David Polinski, is a seven-foot, 285-pound Jewish New-Yorker with a penchant for speaking in a loud, deep voice that will continually fill the classic ten-foot-by-ten-foot 1954 UW classroom. You can look forward to Dr. Polinski teaching the whole room with his mighty presence and unquenchable thirst for talking about math and anything else that happens to cross his brilliant, mathematical mind.
 Embracing technology, Dr. Polinski will represent as he connects his laptop to the color television set while not tripping over any wires. Indeed, you and the fifty other undergraduates enrolled in the class will sit in absolute silence and remain perfectly motionless while absorbing fifty solid minutes of sheer and utter genius. And, just because the course involves some of the most mentally challenging mathematics in the business, don't worry! Dr. Polinski speaks very slowly and repeats every other word three times at least. So, grab your books, grab your calculator, and find a seat. It's 9:37 in the morning and Dr. Polinski should be here any minute!
