Senat - Adrian Bunk (5) von Adrian Bunk
email: bunk@fachschaften.tu-muenchen.de

Hallihallo, mein Name ist Adrian Bunk. Ich studiere im 2. Semester Mathematik mit Nebenfach Informatik und bin der/die/das Letzte auf der Senatsliste. Sollte ich gewählt werden, werde ich mich (natürlich) um ein studierbares Studium und eine möglichst starke studentische Vertretung bemühen. Bei Problemen könnt ihr mich jederzeit ansprechen. Fragt einfach nach dem Menschen, der immer in T-Shirt und kurzer Hose herumläuft.

The USDA once wanted to make cows produce milk faster, to improve the dairy industry.
So, they decided to consult the foremost biologists and recombinant DNA technicians to build them a better cow. They assembled this team of great scientists, and gave them unlimited funding. They requested rare chemicals, weird bacteria, tons of quarantine equipment, there was a horrible typhus epidemic they started by accident, and, 2 years later, they came back with the ,,new, improved cow``. It had a milk production improvement of 2% over the original.
They then tried with the greatest Nobel Prize winning chemists around. They worked for six months, and, after requisitioning tons of chemical equipment, and poisoning half the small town in Colorado where they were working with a toxic cloud from one of their experiments, they got a 5% improvement in milk output.
The physicists tried for a year, and, after ten thousand cows were subjected to radiation therapy, they got a 1% improvement in output.
Finally, in desperation, they turned to the mathematicians. The foremost mathematician of his time offered to help them with the problem. Upon hearing the problem, he told the delegation that they could come back in the morning and he would have solved the problem. In the morning, they came back, and he handed them a piece of paper with the computations for the new, 300% improved milk cow.
The plans began: ,,A Proof of the Attainability of Increased Milk Output from Bovines: Consider a spherical cow...``



Philosopher: ,,Resolution of the continuum hypothesis will have profound implications to all of science.`` Physicist: ,,Not quite. Physics is well on its way without those mythical ``foundations''. Just give us serviceable mathematics.`` Computer Scientist: ,,Who cares? Everything in this Universe seems to be finite anyway. Besides, I'm too busy debugging my Pascal programs.`` Mathematician: ,,Forget all that! Just make your formulae as aesthetically pleasing as possible¡`
