	tScholars.com \| Professor Calculus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Notably in the "Moon" books, Calculus has a hearing aid inserted, and for the duration of the album has near-perfect hearing: this made him a more serious character (that is, as long as the word "goat" is not uttered in his presence).
		Calculus is a fervent believer in dowsing, and carries a pendulum for that purpose.
		Calculus first appeared in Red Rackham's Treasure, and was the end result of HergÃ©'s long quest to find the archetypal mad scientist or absent-minded professor: for instance, Dr. Sarcophagus in Cigars of the Pharaoh, and Prof.

	Professor Calculus
		In The Castafiore Emerald, Bianca Castafiore perhaps mistakes Calculus for Auguste Piccard (1884 - 1962) in claiming that Calculus is "famous for his balloon ascensions".
		This connection was confirmed by Hergé in a 1948 interview with Numa Sadoul "Calculus is a reduced scale Piccard, as the real chap was very tall.
		The Swiss physics professor held a teaching appointment in Brussels where Hergé spotted his unmistakeable figure in the street.

	Non-Newtonian Calculus
		An innovative application of non-Newtonian calculus was made by Professor James R. Meginniss of the Claremont Graduate School and Harvey Mudd College.
		In his article "Non-Newtonian Calculus Applied to Probability, Utility, and Bayesian Analysis" (Proceedings of the American Statistical Association, 1980), he used non-Newtonian calculus to create a theory of probability that is adapted to human behavior and decision making.
		The comments by Professors Grattan-Guinness, Gollmann, and MacAdam are excerpts from their reviews of the book "Non-Newtonian Calculus" in Middlesex Math Notes, Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, and Journal of the Optical Society of America, respectively.

	Absent-minded professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The absent-minded professor is a stock character of popular fiction usually portrayed as an academic with important information, but whose focus on their learning leads them to ignore their surroundings.
		The "absent-minded professor" archetype is often mixed with the "mad scientist" one.
		The archetype is generally associated with, but not restricted to college professors; in the fantasy genre, he may appear as a wizard.

		Untenured: (Sign on door says: Assistant Professor .) These people can be fired, but if they are, it will not be for reasons related to their ability to teach calculus.
		Visitors: (Sign on door says: Visiting Professor , or Visiting Assistant Professor.) `Visiting' means that their welcome is due to expire at the end of one or two years.
		It is also true that professors at such schools often have to teach two to three times as many classes as their counterparts at the research universities.

	Bass
		However, Professor Bass was not satisfied with the clearness of language and simplicity of certain fundamental definitions and concepts from Church's textbooks.
		Professor Bass was of the belief that it should be presented as the "science of rates." This was the same concept used by some of the first teachers of calculus.
		Professor Bass was also characterized as being "alert, decided, punctilious, his standards of performance and deportment were high and he had no toleration of slacking in either.

	The Irascible Professor-commentary of the day 03-01-06. Email etiquette an oxymoron? Perhaps not.
		Untenured professors have good reason to worry if students perceive them as not responding swiftly enough -- no matter how inappropriate or downright outlandish student requests might be.
		After all, most students fill out evaluation forms at the end of the semester and woe to the professor who is perceived as dragging his or her heels when replying to student email.
		Students in sophomore-level courses (in my case, Survey of American Literature) need to be told that they are not attending a correspondence school, and that their professor would much prefer talking with them during office hours or at the student union over a cup of coffee.

	Lee Lady: Topics in Calculus
		It is a mistake to think of calculus, or mathematics in general, as primarily a tool for finding answers (although it is also a mistake to think, as many graduate students do, that calculating is an inferior, unworthy aspect of mathematics).
		The primary importance of calculus in the hard sciences is that it provides a language, a conceptual framework for describing relationships that would be difficult to discuss in any other language.
		This is understandable, since almost all the functions encountered in a calculus course (and in common applications of calculus) are analytic, and the singularities that occur are usually poles.

	Calculus graphics -- Douglas N. Arnold
		The diagram illustrates the local accuracy of the tangent line approximation to a smooth curve, or--otherwise stated--the closeness of the differential of a function to the difference of function values due to a small increment of the independent variable.
		The proof is based on a diagram depicting a circular sector in the unit circle together with an inscribed and a circumscribed triangle.
		A brief graphical exploration of a continuous, nowhere differentiable function fits very well in the first semester of calculus, for example, to provide a strong counterexample to the converse of the theorem that differentiability implies continuity; or to show that it is only differentiable functions which look like straight lines under the microscope.

		Years later, a doctorate in number theory in hand, he was a mathematics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when a publisher asked whether he would revise a calculus textbook.
		The textbook he wrote spawned the "Thomas Calculus" series, which has been used by generations of students and teachers, initially in universities and then in high schools, as studying advanced math became a prerequisite for some college programs.
		"Thomas Calculus" is now in its 11th edition, more than a half-century after the first text was published, and is used in classrooms around the world.

	Long-time calculus professor Harold Bacon dies at 85
		Bacon was widely recognized on campus as the owner of the white colonial-style Row house with the rose-lined driveway.
		At the time he retired, Bacon, through his calculus classes, probably had taught "more engineering and science underg raduates than anyone else in the history of the university," Royden said.
		In his speech to the class, which experienced some of the greatest turmoil in Stanford history, Bacon said, "If we are going to solve any of the horrendous problems of modern civilization, we cannot be content with knowing only what happened last year, or the year before, or even in the last dozen years.
