L'HoppyTail leads a life of leisure, and teaches no classes. He does
occasionally make classroom appearances, however. To learn more about L'Hospital,
the mathematician for whom L'HoppyTail was named, read the biography from the
MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive.
L'HoppyTail joined the department in 1998, after the department's spelling
team, "The Oblique Asymptotes," won the John Carroll University Spelling Bee.
Team members were Kim Balk, Barbara D'Ambrosia, and Carl Spitznagel. With
L'HoppyTail's help, the team won the JCU Spelling Bee again in 1999, and went on
to become the champions at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Community
Spelling Bee. |
