LOL. I remember doing a similar experiment, studying band gaps and the effect of super-cooling or super-heating crystals, metallic alloys and semi-conductors to study maleability, resistivity, etc.
Fun times. Not really.

they have a ton of funny math jokes, pictures, and such

I should scan & post the collection of cheat/study sheets I used for my courses. Right now they're framed on my wall, as a reminder of the 4-year torture. Serious.
Jumbles and jumbles of formulas, identities, expansions, graphs, circuits, diagrams, super condensed in tiny tiny messy writing.
And here's a funny for ya:

I cant wait to go back to school in january, so ill be forced to think about sh*t like this as opposed to making pizza. No seriously! I hate math and am terrible at it. But but its a good change from how much cheese I put on a pizza.

Um. You're missing a few synapses. Connect synapses 3, 7, and 12 then re-read.

all i have to say is: to hell with statistics. Not only is it the most
boring and confusing course ever, but im almost certain that 95% of the
professors that teach it speak with an unintelligible foreign accent.
im an accounting major though, because accounting actually makes sense.

LOL bhop. Something in there just sounds funny. I'm gonna reword just because. I have a confidence level of about 100% that the population proportion of statistics professors speak with a foreign accent is 95% given a sample of 1 professor.
My statistics professor Dr. Geetha, is from India.

Accents, I can deal with.
But try having a *blind* teacher. Yes, blind. He'd feel around for the blackboard, draw horrible zig zags he called diagrams, bump into things, it was almost sad to watch. But he was a damn good lecturer. Loved the class.
And then, I had a teacher with Parkinson's. Also sad, but he'd shake and convulse and turn uncontrollably, while trying to explain discrete transforms, decorrelations and wavelets functions for image/video compression.
One of my profs was also 80 years +. Who knows why the University kept him, but he was intense. Could fill the entire blackboard with formulae in a matter of minutes. He'd stare at the floor when he taught, never looked at us. Would smack his chalk on the board, send shards flying.
My best prof was for Algebra, though. He'd show up wearing a terribly old and dirty t-shirt with some faded hockey team logo, some silk PJ pants, uncombed hair and hiking boots. Like he just got out of bed 10 min earlier and wrestled a bear on his way to class - he'd just walk in, and start talking about Eigenvectors and change of basis matrices.. just keep going and going, past the hour. We'd walk out to our next class, he'd still be there, writing on the board.

sounds just like my current calc3 teacher; he's usually a bit better dressed, but as soon as he walks through the door, he starts talking at the exact point where he left off last lecture. its like somehow his brain knows the exact word that he stopped at. sometimes we'd mess with him by drawing goofy things on the board just to watch him pause mid-lecture and wipe it spotless to appease his ocd. then, with 35 seconds lleft in class, he says, "oh, we have half a minute left, let me show you something else real fast," and goes on to write for 5 more minutes as we walk out.
he's, by far, the greatest professor ive ever had, though. he teaches so well that i dont realize the difficulty of the things we're dealing with until after we've solved them. im not sure how he does it, but its the best ive had.

on a different note, ive recently become quite interested in fractals. has anyone used any programs to generated color fractal graphs?
