<ol>
They are very sensitive to starter data
Most of them are impossible to figure out
While there are some rules for how to deal with them, they are generally inadequate and don't make a lot of sense
They're all about relationships
You invest a good bit of time trying to figure them out, only to get the Error function
Limits, they all need limits
There are guidelines which can help in certain situations, but the hard part is figuring out which situation you are in.
People who are good with them are usually really bad at teaching you how to deal with them yourself
If you can understand one, it means NOTHING! The next one can easily be the most confusing thing you've ever seen
If you actually do figure them out, you can do some really interesting things in life
The linear ones are easiest to deal with
You have to deal with a lot of arbitrary constants
Even the so-called ordinary ones are hard to understand
Instead of trying to find a general solution, for a specific instance it's better to use a step-by-step approach
Those pesky boundry value problems!
It's not so bad to try and solve either one with an infinite series
Solutions are easier to find if you can seperate the variables
Simpler problems can be solved with the juicious application of a series expansion
There are infinitely many solutions
They form a family of curves
They usually yield to skilled manipulation
Your TI-89 knows more about them than you
The best ones have some really interesting curves
Only a few special cases are marginally comprehendable
Some say the only way to understand either of them is to go to a foreign place and consult someone with very poor english skills
Just when you tink you've figured one out, you realize there are more unknowns that there is information
You can write about them for hours and be further from the solution than when you started
Experts try to pretend they know what they're doing by throwing big words around
A little mistake early on can screw up everything you hoped to accomplish with one.
A small complication can make one infinitely harder to understand that it was thought previously
Contrary to popular belief, sleeping with them doesn't really improve your standing with them
Trying to analyze one will make your mind burn
For reasons unknown, the guy sitting next to you is better than you with them, and it doesn't seem like he actually knows anything more than you
If you mess up with one, you'll feel bad about it later
Trying hard is good, but sometimes they're unfathomable
The quadratic equation seemed like a good idea at the time, but it doesn't seem to be helping anything now
The few easy ones have been done by someone else and probably shown to you in a book
They're all evil in some way, or else taken by somebody else
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
You've got to play with them for a while before you can really get going
You can think about them all day long without getting satisfied by one, no matter how badly you want it.
Ones in a family tend to be very similar...
...but with subtle differences which will mess things up for you.
They all seem alike to the uninitiated
The guys who appreciate them the most are least likely to be noticed
To the insensitive, they're all about rates
The ones with visibly rounded curves tend to be simpler
When you're drunk, you think you can deal with them better
A stripped-down one is easier to appreciate
Some solutions are purely imaginary
Some have misguided direction
They tend to stay in groups
