So, I had a pretty funny experience today.  When my Math C30 (pre-calculus) students walked in today, one of them held something behind her back and told me she was about to change the way I looked at the world.  I was speechless.  She then produced a comic book.  It’s called “The Add-ventures of MathMan”, and I’m the main character.  They were creating this in their spare for the last month or so.  Unbelievable.  They gave me a nice laminated hard copy, but also threw it up on the web here:

My favorite bit:
Evil villain Theta: “But how did you escape?”
MathMan: “I shrunk one side of the triangle so the sum of the two smaller sides wasn’t greater than the third side.  The triangle ceased to exist!!”

Sometimes, being a teacher is a lot of fun.

P.S. Whenever you guys read this — thanks.  You made my day.
