The main problem with COW at the kernel level is the complexity it adds, but the concerns are similar to those raised by more basic virtual-memory concerns such as swapping pages to disk ; when the kernel writes to pages, it must copy any such pages marked copy-on-write.

Following the war, Herge's attacks on big business was suspended as he focused more on espionage ( the Moon adventures and The Calculus Affair ); but it returned with a vengeance in The Red Sea Sharks.

Hamilton solved this problem using the Icosian Calculus, an algebraic structure based on roots of unity with many similarities to the quaternions ( also invented by Hamilton ).

The symbols of the Icosian Calculus can be equated to moves between vertices on a dodecahedron.

Spivak's book Calculus on Manifolds ( often referred to as little Spivak ) is also rather infamous as being one of the most difficult undergraduate mathematics textbooks.

Professor Calculus takes particular offense at the insult in the album Destination Moon.

Calculus, though allowed in solutions, is never required, as there is a principle at play that anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics should understand the problems, even if the solutions require a great deal more knowledge.

Escalante actually first began teaching at Garfield High School in 1974 and taught his first AP Calculus course in 1978 with a group of 14 students.

Only five students remained in the course at the end of the year and of the five, only two passed the AP Calculus exam.
