But yes, I loved doodling equations as a student. I loved the look of the symbols, even when I did not know what they meant.

When others were doodling airplanes I would oftentimes end up doodling contour integrals and the Schrodinger equation. Awhile back you posted about a great New Yorker cover with a blackboard and some equations. My girlfriend was kind enough to track it down and get a copy framed for me as a gift. What equations were you working with? I have my own personal favorites (from an aesthetic point of view, I have different favorites for amazing equations expressing physical principles), but I'm curious to hear if any other people have some.
