Fuck me, I haven’t thought about bessel functions since college, but I still remember when they were introduced, for me, not in graduate physics, but in one of my earlier undergrad programming classes, the assignment went so poorly that the professor added a gimme question on the final exam, something like, “True or false: Simply mentioning the bessel function will raise my blood pressure.”

I did somewhat feel betrayed or disappointed after my thermodynamics professor made this joke, thinking it was funny, and then finding out how ubiquitous it is.

A true classic. Right up there with biographies of Cantor and “Ignition!”.
