Would've been better without the last panel imo, but otherwise great.

Damn... i don't get it. The maths geek in me sees that "x cubed" gets differentiated down to "3x squared"... but why?

Bard: Dudley din't know how to solve the equation, so he prayed to Kos"I am not a coward!" he cried. "I'll dare Thieves' House and fetch you Krovas' head and toss it with blood a-drip at Vlana's feet. I swear that, witness me, Kos the god of dooms, by the brown bones of Nalgron my father and by his sword Graywand here at my side!"

Very amusing. Does this mean that Black Dragons are superb mathematicians?

Might have been funnier if Dudley had fired the "dis-integration" beam. But I too got the joke. For those who don't know: Differentiation (finding the derivative) can be done by multiplying a term by its power and reducing the power by 1, as shown in the comic. Very useful in computing velocity and acceleration from an object's position at different times. The reverse of this process is called integration. So differentiation could be said to be dis-integration.
