The method that the heads of the Faculty of Mathematics at the Technion use to torture the first year students.
It's an 'innovative' way to submit calculus homework, without needing anyone to check them. The poor students get about 1-2 sheets of homework a week. They usually concentrate on this hw while neglecting the rest of their courses. Thus causing big gaps of understanding in those courses, not to mention on calculus since those homeworks don't really help, (nobody actually does all of them without cheating anyway).

Get the Mathletic mug.A group of mathematically exceptional students who compete against other schools usually in timed rounds and are often Asian. Many people make fun of them, but they're actually pretty cool, especially if their names are Kevin Gnapoor and Cady Heron.
