    Is the amount of credit I should give them less than, equal to, or greater than the amount of credit I should give English majors?

      I suppose it depends on what you value. Language is more of a creative venture while math is more of a technical one. “Credit” is also somewhat of a nebulous term.

        I don’t know, once math becomes Greek letters and mathematician names it sort of seems to circle back around.

                More like the difference between a circle with radius r >> 0 vs a point.

                It was supposed to be another math pun about a line being 1 dimensional (at least it only requires a single parameter) with a point being 0D and the fact that “deep” conversations could be said to be multi-dimensional.

      majors? you mean bachelors? PhDs get PhD respect. Bachelors get Bachelor respect. It’s not the subclassification of study, it’s the level. if you only have a bachelors, you get less respect than a masters and so on.
