Talk about not living up to expectations. I haven’t been this disappointed since I learned that Crunchberries aren’t considered a fruit.
Remember that MIT Hip Hop class I mentioned before? A few days ago, another MIT offering came across the RSS feed, one that warmed by little nerd heart like some… thing that, um, warms other things… Shut it. I’m old.
Anyway.
I was giddy as all hell when I first saw the link for the “Street-Fighting Mathematics” course. And who wouldn’t be? I mean, if shit goes bad after a Hip Hop dance off, I might need to know how to throw down some mad calculus. I immediately pop-and-locked my way over to the MIT site.
Sadly, it looks like they’re playing with my emotions. No Sharks-and-Jets style knife/trig fights, no fellow nerds ready to throw down. Just a class that “teaches the art of guessing results and solving problems without doing a proof or an exact calculation.”
