![]() Does being a Euclidean Domain count as a super power? It’s ok if you don’t know the comic book characters Sean is talking about in the comic. I would have no idea if I didn’t get to hear about them ALL THE TIME. Thanks to Sean I also get to know about all the cool X-men… like deadpool! I was pretty busy last week, with homework and a midterm on Friday. One of the questions: “Let D be a principal ideal domain. let α ∈ D be irreducible. Prove that every non-zero element in D/<α> is a unit.” I read this far and at first I was excited, because I happened to know all the theorems and lemmas and propositions from the lecture that would prove this and then I read the rest of the problem: “For this problem you may not use any results from the lectures or homeworks without proof.” :C |
![]() Can You Guess the Characters!? The first one should be pretty obvious, but I don’t actually know how obscure the others are. I mean I read about them all the time so I guess they can’t be too hard. If they are I will give hints! I wrote a fairly long blurb about my opinion on comic book movies here if you care. |

If you did your older HW’s in LaTeX you can just copy over the proofs

@Bob: I didn’t have my homeworks on the midterm… so I just tried to write down what I remembered from the proofs, but I think there was an easier way…
I just suck at taking tests

…okay, pass, who’s he talking about in the 3rd panel?

Oh, I didn’t realize it was a problem on the test; I thought it was on the homework.
Ouch.
Was the test timed?

And that’s why im not majoring in math or close, well it’s close but not that much.

Well Deadpool was only an X-man in a few issues of Cable and Deadpool which still makes him the best X-man of all time. The last character is very familiar but I can’t place it yet.

@Jeff D. HOLY CRAP YES!!! I was so worried no one would get it! You are awesome!
