Prove It

For some reason, movies about math geniuses are really really captivating. There's something about the mystery of mathematics and the exciting prospect of having things figured out that have never been figured out before. This movie really is awesome though and I would like to share a small excerpt from it. The most amazing equation ever written:

"Let X equal the quantity of all quantities of X. Let X equal the cold. It is cold in December. The months of cold equal November through February. There are four months of cold, and four of heat, leaving four months of indeterminate temperature. In February it snows. In March the Lake is a lake of ice. In September the students come back and the bookstores are full. Let X equal the month of full bookstores. The number of books approaches infinity as the number of months of cold approaches four. I will never be as cold now as I will in the future. The future of cold is infinite. The future of heat is the future of cold. The bookstores are infinite and so are never full except in September..."
