[Photo by pshutterbug.]
It’s been ages since I posted any blackboard quotes, so here are a few gems from last semester. [Hat tip: I found most of the quotes in this list at The Quote Garden's Quotations about Math page.]

Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics.
— Dean Schlicter
[Does anyone know who he is? Plenty of people quote him, but I can't find a single link about the man himself.]
