Zazzle card from shopaholicchick: Retro flower tree
LK
Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). Probably the greatest mathematician that ever lived. Made fundamental contributions to geometry, number theory, matrix theory, probability, statistics, analysis, and also to many areas of physics including electrostatics and optics. Discovered the asteroid known as Ceres in 1801. Developed Gaussian reduction which is used to torment students in linear algebra courses. Also: enjoyed hats.
Apes read calculus, they just don't understand it. And good thing too, what with the crazy ape strength and the poop throwing. A race of calculus-knowing superchimps would easily enslave us puny humans. But for now, you can mock those mathematically maladroit monkeys with a malapert Calculus Ape shirt! Obtuse design will bewilder apes you may encounter, providing a critical window of opportunity for escape lest you be peeled like a banana.
The ancient Egyptian word for "brain" as it appears in the Edward Smith Surgical Papyrus, translated in 1930 by James Breasted and dated to the seventeenth century B.C. The papyrus documents the symptoms and prognosis of two patients with compound fractures of the skull. Given that the state-of-the-art in Egyptian brain surgery at the time consisted of pulling it out through your nose with a metal hook after you were dead, we're guessing the story did not end well.
