let the hazing begin

I just watched Old School a few nights ago, a movie about a bunch of middle aged guys starting their own fraternity. And I admit, that looks pretty fun. That' why I'm going to start my own frat, Sigma Delta Chi -- ∑ ∆x. Now most of you are probably wondering why I'm starting a frat. I mean, I'm not much into parties, alcohol, strip shows (hehe alex...), so what's the point? Those of you with a calculus background though, will recognize the symbols ∑ ∆x as the most basic form of a Reimann sum, a fundamental idea in calculus. Thus, the theme for my frat is revealed: we will be a brotherhood of mathematicians and scientists, helping each other with our problem sets that are due Friday. And having the occassional wild party after midterms or finals. Yeah, mostly I'm just wanting someone who has gotten an A in S311 to help me. LOL.... Join my call to arms, brothers! We shall develop an army of mathematicians and scientists that the world has never known! Pythagoreas's Secret Society will pale in comparison! We will be like "e^x...you can try to differentiate it and integrate it, but e^x will remain unchanged!" bahahaha

So is it official? Will there be female mathematicians in this 'secret society'? If so, count me in.

p.s.

Make it a secret society. It'd be that much cooler.

Mike is right -- if it's secret, we can really be the new Pythagoreans.

The problem will be to come up with a really good hazing procedure.

We need T-shirts as well.

∑ ∆x---we're the only ones who can convert 1/4 x^4 into xxx
