TEACHING Philosophy

While the following may not strictly be a "teaching philosophy," it nevertheless seems to sum up things rather nicely:

"If a picture is supposed to replace a thousand words, it is quite likely that five good difference equations could replace a thousand pictures." ( Mark Perlman, 'Editor's Note,' Journal of Economic Literature, March 1981, p. 2)
