I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hi everybody! I'm back!
Looking for advice: I have to email a professor to ask if she'll let me into her history of math class even though I don't have all the prerequisites (specifically, Calc III and maybe Differential Equations). I think I have a pretty good case -- mainly, that I plan to be teaching math next fall and would like to have some history of math under my belt for it -- but I've never actually done this before. How do I phrase it?

Ooh, Toronto Film Festival? I keep meaning to try to go up for that, and it always catches me by surprise at the end of the summer.

He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith was called to remove the lock.
Poor locksmith....
On the plus side, a great story to tell for years to come.

well, that's just plain taxation.

you might want to mention other courses that you've taken that you think could be comparable. You could also ask to audit the class, which she may be more comfortable with (if you don't need the credit and are just taking it for hte info)

Er... comparable to calc 3 and differential equations? I haven't. I only took the courses necessary for the CS degree, which was up through calc 2 and linear algebra. I'd be perfectly happy to take more, except, well, TIME, and also, MONEY. And I do need the credit.
Actually, I could just scrap it and take computers in education instead, as I've already done the several week's worth of emailing and calling and visiting necessary to get into one math course, except that History of Math is the one I really want to take!
Anyway, I mostly need help with, like, how to start the email. Because I'm thinking maybe not, "Yo, professor lady! 'Sup with the prerequisites? Level with me here, I do not need calc three to learn about how many cultures knew the Pythagorean Theorem before the rise of Greece, right? Cut me some slack, Jack."
