Love me a bigass number. Though calculus eventually superceded my desire to "have big" with "make big as fast as possible." To quote my advanced diff eqs professor, a kindly, hilarious, frocked Catholic priest, "series with factorials are like exponents on crack"

I should add that this was at a secular, public university, and he was the only Catholic priest or ordained minister of any sort who taught there. And it was only me and like 4 other dorks hahaha what a class that was
