Publisher's Synopsis

What's so funny about math? Lots! Especially if you're mathematically bent. In the world of Colin Adams, differential equations bring on tears of laughter. Hollywood producers hire algebraic geometers to punch up a script. In this world, math and humor are synonymous. ""Riot at the Calc Exam"" is a proof of this fact. A collection of humorous math stories, this book gives a window into mathematics and the culture of mathematicians. This title is appropriate for mathematicians, math students, math teachers, lay people with an interest in mathematics, and indeed everyone else. This book is a romp through the wild world of mathematics.
