A man seen from behind writing on a blackboard in a lecture hall, in a camel flannel overshirt whose yoke seam rises in a bell curve to a box pleat, with a small red tab above it at the collar.

11:15, the eleven o’clock lecture

φ (x) = \frac{1}{σ 2 π} e^{- \frac{( x - μ ) ^{2}}{2 σ ^{2}}}

The normal curve. Gauss used it in 1809 for the errors of astronomers, and it kept his name. Add up many small independent errors and their sum falls under this bell, almost whatever each one looked like alone: the central limit theorem. Its two inflection points sit one standard deviation either side of the mean, and about 68% of everything lies between them.

For the eleven o’clock lecture: a concealed placket chalk dust cannot catch on, and cuffs that roll twice and stay.

A shirt cut in jacket cloth, for the days you give the lecture. From behind, the yoke seam is a bell curve: peak just below the nape, tails running out to the armholes. The hanger loop sits at the mean, and is the only red.
