Mathematician's Survival Guide

"As long as algebra is taught in school, there will be prayer in school." Cokie Roberts
I stumbled across a ink to the "Mathematician's Survival Guide" on xameuel.com.  What was odd was that the post was a "reprint, with permission from the author, of Professor Peter Casazza’s brilliant article, “A Mathematician’s Survival Guide”. The preprint can be read in PDF form at Dr. Casazza’s own website, here. Not to be confused with a book by the same name by Professor Steven Krantz (the two professors together co-edited a book which is slated to appear soon, from the MAA, titled “The Psychology of the Mathematician”, where the present paper will appear)."
Why not just post a link with an endorsement?  Mine not to reason why.  I enjoyed reading about  mathematicians perception of others perception of them.

I stumbled around xameuel.com and discovered a post about a graphing program named GrafEq, which, according to the blogger handles equations which cause Mathematica to choke.  Here are two examples:



The author reasoned that the checkerboard graph probably represents  is probably very tightly oscillating waves. Seeing these makes me want to get back to mathematics.
