So, there's the implementation, and there's the specification.

This seriously had absolutely nothing to do with what we were discussing in class. It was the first day and he was already spouting random stuff.

In Calculus 3, when the prof was attempting to show us how to integrate in cylindrical coordinates. If your curious, we were integrating for the area of 1/2 the unit circle.

Stated angrily in a Romanian accent while the class was distracted by a cardinal continuously braining itself against the window for the fourth day in a row during class. I swear, none of us in the room caught it. I only remembered her saying it and it occurring to me later how wonderfully random it was.

I have since learned that he says this every single time he teaches the class, but it is a great way to see who's still awake that day. This is in reference to calculating properties of AC circuits, beyond that, I don't remember.

*Professor writes int(1/x) on the board, or some related equation thereof, as a long part of an equation*
*Professor calls on girl in front of the room to help the class move along and make sure people are involved*
*girl is having a calculus blank and can't remember*
Professor: Do you have a fireplace?...
*1/3 the class erupts into laughter/groaning*

If you can see where his prompt is going, congratulations! You're as much of a nerd as the rest of us in the class lauging were. Unfortunately his little prompt/lead-in/metaphor ended up going on for a few minutes until the very last person to get the joke was the girl being called on.
For those who don't know why this is funny: int(1/x) = ln(x), pronounced "natural log of x." Yes, it was that bad...

This was sent as an e-mail to all the students with no reference as to what he was talking about. We later found out that he was of course talking about fruit flies.

So we're in class, about to do a problem in the introduction of partial derivatives, and suddenly Prof. Banchoff turns to the TA and says "Run up to my office and get some chalk, I can't do this without colored chalk." After the TA leaves the room, Prof. Banchoff turns to the class and says "Partial derivatives are about colored chalk."
