More from math
My math professor gives us a packet showing us how to solve all our homework problems. Yes, it's quite nice. Problem 2, not to difficult, but a really really annoying long problem. Here's what he wrote in the answer packet:
Everyone should do such a problem once in their lives, but never more than once. I was given this problem as an undergraduate, and I did it; so you'll excuse me if I don't do it in its entirety.
After going through a portion of the answer (and saying, "now do the rest"), he writes:
I will now solve #2 entirely from scratch, in about a quarter of a page; Seriously I am sorry for having to make you do a lot of work, but I knew no other way in which to impress upon you the most valuable lesson to be learned from max-min problems...
