When I took Calculus III, Z was up. When I took Engineering Physics the same semester, Y was up.

According to legend, this is why the Math and Physics departments hate each other.

I thought it was coming from the fact Nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician. Thus explaining why there is no Nobel Price for Mathematics.


There are several reasons to believe that that urban legend isn't true. One of them being that Nobel was never married.
