I had a calculus prof that would give us colors and abstract stuff, his exams sucked. My next calculus prof was a retired WPPSS engineer and every problem was a story problem, I really liked his exams.

One day I realized that the physicist we collaborated with viewed the world in differential equations. When I mentioned it he said "you don't?". No sir, for me math is a screwdriver and nothing more.
