It's likely that Ehrenfest's suicidal depression was exacerbated by the rise of Fascism in his part of the world. Luckily, that won't be a problem for ... ah shit.
Fuck me, I haven't thought about bessel functions since college, but I still remember when they were introduced, for me, not in graduate physics, but in one of my earlier undergrad programming classes, the assignment went so poorly that the professor added a gimme question on the final exam, something like, "True or false: Simply seeing the words "bessel function" will raise my blood pressure."
Simply seeing the words "bessel function" will raise my blood pressure."
With Zoidberg voice: that's normal
That, is the best. Thank you.
That was glorious!
As any physics student will tell you: the textbook only gets more depressing from there...
Genuinely the final straw in my physics undergrad. I do history now lol
Try not to kill yourself, I guess.
My prof called it "sadistical thermal goddammits"
I did somewhat feel betrayed or disappointed after my thermodynamics professor made this joke, thinking it was funny, and then finding out how ubiquitous it is.
A true classic. Right up there with biographies of Cantor and "Ignition!".
