Calc 1-4 + DiffEq...

Javier Gomez... you guess what his accent was.

All my math professors had no accent other than one, and that wasn't so much of an accent. My linear algebra teacher literally talked and mumbled like Milton from Office Space, while staring at the chalk board the entire class period.

Now, I did one computer science Professor with a heavy Thai accent, and one physics professor with a heavy Bulgarian accent. These two were so bad you could hardly understand them.

My Stat teacher had a rather heavy Minnesotan type of accent (ie: don't-cha-know-there-now, eh). Other than that, none had any noticeable accent.

edit: I guess I should clarify that I'm in the US, but nowhere near Minnesota.

my calculus professor - american
linear algebra - russian
multivariable calculus - french
real analysis - russian

Cal 1 and 2 -----> Spanish
Cal 3 -----> None, but this guy went off on so many tangents (no pun intended)

However, I think the entire Physics department was airlifted from a Chinese Village and put into our school.

 

[Aikouka]

Calc 2 - None
Foundations - Sri Lankan
Matrix Algebra - Milton (Office Space )
Multivar Stats - None

I think that's all the math I took.. AP'd out of Calc 1 or that probably would've been Sri Lankan too (that professor was awesome though). Refused to take Calc 3 with a foreign professor .

 

[PottedMeat]

Guess I got lucky for the first two:
Calc II ( Seq/Series/Multivar ) - American
Elem Diff Eq - American

Linear Algebra - Some fu<ked up eastern european accent when he tried to 'explain' things. He did know how to read english on those occasions I opted to go to class - He would read from the book and copy examples onto the board. I can't believe I made it out of that class with a B.

 

[DukeFan21]

Chinese, American, American

 

[MercenaryForHire]

My university math prof sounded like he came straight from the Dell support center. I actually made a giant "WTF?" sign and would hold it up (facing the rest of the class) whenever he was going on in some language that definitely wasn't English.
