1) Phenomenal book and documentary about Jaime Escalante and his success in turning a class of 18 barrio students struggling with basic math from East L.A. in the poor public school of Garfield High into math enthusiasts who would go on to pass the AP Calculus Exam.

1) Escalante's famous math enrichment program would attain an apex of 85 students and many faculty members. His ability to turn a group of poorly prepared, undisciplined students into strong calculus practitioners is a shining light into the potential of teaching capability in the area of math and, eventually, the end of math anxiety among struggling students.
2) John Edgar Wideman, famous novelist and essayist, gave an incredible lecture and preliminary text reading of his work at my university recently. He stood and delivered!

Many years ago in the deep South, illegitimate children were labeled "bastards" on their birth certificates. They were in small numbers. Nowadays, bastarfs are found in smaller numbers than they used to be.

The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that {n: n is an element of N > 1} (the set of natural numbers, or positive integers, except the number 1) can be represented uniquely apart from rearrangement as the product of one or more prime numbers (a positive integer that's divisible only by 1 and itself). This theorem is also called the unique factorization theorem and is a corollary to Euclid's first theorem, or Euclid's principle, which states that if p is a prime number and p/ab is given (a does not equal 0; b does not equal 0), then p is divisible by a or p is divisible by b.
Proof: First prove that every integer n > 1 can be written as a product of primes by using inductive reasoning. Let n = 2. Since 2 is prime, n is a product of primes. Suppose n > 2, and the above proposition is true for N < n. If n is prime, then n is a product of primes. If n is composite, then n = ab, where a < n and b < n. Therefore, a and b are products of primes. Hence, n = ab is also a product of primes. Since that has been established, we can now prove that such a product is unique (except for order). Suppose n = p sub1 * p sub2 * ... * p subk = q sub1 * q sub2 * ... * q subr, where the p's and q's are primes. If so, then p sub1 is divisible by (q sub1 * ... * q subr) by Euclid's first theorem. What is the relationship between p sub1 and one of the q's? If the r in q subr equals 1, then p sub1 = q sub1 since the only divisors of q are + or - 1 and + or - q and p > 1, making p = q. What about the other factors in the divisor? If p does not divide q, then the greatest common denominator of p and q is 1 since the only divisors of p are + or - 1 and + or - p. Thus there are integers m and n so that 1 = am + bn. Multiplying by q subr yieds q subr = amq subr + bnq subr. Since we are saying that p is divisible by q, let's say the q sub1 * q subr = cp. Then q subr = amq subr + bnq subr = amq subr + bcm = m(aq subr + bc). Therefore, p is divisible by q sub1 of q sub2 * ... * q subr. If p sub1 is divisible by q sub1, then p sub1 = q sub 1. If this does not work the first time, then repeat the argument until you find an equality. Therefore, one of the p's must equal one of the q's. In any case, rearrange the q's so that p sub1 = q sub1, then p sub1 * p sub2 * ... * p subk= p sub1 * q sub2 * ... * q subr and p sub2 * ... * p subk = q sub2 * ... * q subr, and so on. By the same argument, we can rearrange the remaining q's so that p sub2 = q sub2. Thus n can be expressed uniquely as a product of primes regardless of order, making the fundamental theorem of arithmetic true.

Result of switching the "t" and the "b" in the phrase "Big n' tasty." A term of frustration used when you go to McDonald's or an equivalent fast food restaurant, order something, and the cashier or person behind the drive-thru window attempts to repeat what you said in either unintelligible language or something totally contrary to what you asked for. This is a stupid, yet somewhat gratifying, way to respond.
Employee behind drive-thru window (speaking in bad microphone): Welcome to McDonald's. May I help you?
Me: Yes. I would like a large #2, diet coke, and some cookies.
Employee: Mehdoodootmokoonbakh?
Me: WHAT?!
Employee: Meh-doo-doot-mok-oon-bakh?
Me: Yeah fool. I want a tiggenbasty!
Employee: Huh?
Me: Exactly.
