When math is love

13 December 2009

Recently Matthew Weathers, a math teacher at Biola University, spent several hours doing this for his class.

No, I wasn’t actually trying to teach anything with the video — it was just for fun. This was the last 5 minutes of a 75 minute class — I actually taught real math for the first 70 minutes. And yes, I love teaching this class, and I try to keep it lively by doing little fun things like this once in a while. — Matthew Weathers

Sometimes we do things because… well, just because we are human and we like to make each other laugh. I don’t know if Matthew Weathers calls it love, but I do.
 

 
Enjoy your Sunday.

    I never knew math could be love, but I think you are right : ) And I don’t think I ever had a teacher as funny as that.

    I love it when teachers love their work.

    Though he never made a video, I’m reminded of Dr. Metzger and the way he went about wording things to the delight of the student body. His description of the Hapsburgs as “A genetic disaster of heroic proportions” still gets me. I loved that class.
