Dr. Rucker was a visiting professor from Arizona State that taught in the IME department for two terms. He is (pretty) old, tech-savvy, has admittedly bad skin, is extremely intelligent and well-read, but not particularly organized as a teacher. He also said lots of things--deemed Ruckerisms--a few of which are:

"D is for dog, so we have a,b,c,dog"

"So lets just lurch along"

"...so we have this little rascal here..."

"What do we do with this rapscallion?"

"So on a good day, the answer is..."

"If you calculate the axial compression on this beastie..."


I was just thinking, this probably isn't very interesting to you. You don't know Dr. Rucker.
