I had Dr. Starbird for honors discrete mathematics, which was one of those Moore-method styled classes and my first decent introduction to writing proofs. What was funny is that it was my favorite class at UT, he was a wonderful teacher, I probably got the top score in his class and yet he and I had tremendous difficulty with each other on a personal level. It's funny how that kind of thing is.</div></div>
