Gee, Guido, don’t write down scribbles of your economic equations which might be seen by others. They will get the wrong idea................
How embarrassing for the woman.
Was he carrying weapons of math instruction?
Being an Ivy League professor is enough to identify him as a terrorist, isn’t it?
Get back or I’ll divide by zero. I swear I’ll do it!
I've been terrified by many a differential equation.
They don't even have to be whole differential equations.
I've found the partial ones particularly terrifying.
For the first time I now wonder if the 20 years I spent fighting the Cold War, and seeing two men die horrible deaths while doing their duty, was worth it.
Sign her up as a Supervisor at the TSA.
Please, this is a bogus story. He doesn’t know who questioned him?? Yet any FBI S/A or TSA/TSI would have shown creds before questioning him. Dollars to doughnuts here’s the real story. The guy was hitting on some young blond in the seat next to him and he creeped her out. She complained to a flight attendant and some airline people talked with him. Standard protocol requires them to ask perfunctory security questions, in addition, when temporarily removing a disruptive passenger.
Good God this scene sounds like it’s right out of the movie Idiocracy.
“What might prevent an epidemic of paranoia? It is hard not to recognize in this incident, the ethos of [Donald] Trump’s voting base,” he wrote.
Professor Guido had my sympathy until he used this this incident to blame Trump.
Depending on the math category, I’ll be glad to call it terrorism too, because taking some of them in school sure felt like it.
Everything was fine until he had to start incorporating imaginary numbers into his equation . . .
Bet she is really good at balancing her checkbook.
“Whadda ya mean I’m out of money? I still have checks left!”
In 520 B.C., a bunch of Pythagoreans threw a guy off a boat when he proved the existence of irrational numbers.
Math is a terrible thing.
He was very good at integral and differential calculus.
And knew the scientific names of beings animalcules.
And about binomial theorem he was teeming with a lot of news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
Nowadays that kind of thing can get you arrested.
It appears he had a protractor, a compass, calculator, and a ruler. Airline officials were naturally concerned about a passenger carrying implements of math instruction.
If you see sum thing, say sum thing. !!
Next time, use calcubonics. It’s the latest thing.
