That's great! Although I remember doing a little math in geology school...not much though.
Geology's not a job, it's a calling. How many mathematicians have callings, huh?
;-)
where did you find this?
a classmate of mine from undergrad (BS in geology) and are regular readers of your geoblog. she sent me this cartoon several weeks ago and we've been forwarding it on ever since!
funny, since i spend most of the day number crunching environmental data for projects sent to the epa. so much for "real world" appliations ( :
have a great day!
Blogini,
It's Figure 3.28d from Chapter 3 of the Pollard & Fletcher structural geology book. Thanks to Kim Hannula's blog, I found a link to the textbook's website, and spent a bit of time the other day checking out the figures. Here's a "tiny URL" that leads there: http://tiny.cc/7qjxS
Enjoy!

Ahaha, awesome!
Though if Calvin wants a job that doesn't need math, he should consider being a composer. He can throw random notes at a staff with no time signature or discernible rhythm, call it "aleatoric," and be hailed as avant-garde and brilliant!
