More Math Jokes..

Math jokes that only Math students can appreciate..."how lame" they are after reading it... have fun BUT PLEASE don't learn the mistakes!! ;)


Q: Why do you rarely find mathematicians spending time at the beach?
A: Because they have sine and cosine to get a tan and don't need the sun!

Teacher: "Who can tell me what 7 times 6 is?"
Student: "It's 42!"
Teacher: "Very good! - And who can tell me what 6 times 7 is?"
Same student: "It's 24!"

A math student is pestered by a classmate who wants to copy his homework assignment. The student hesitates, not only because he thinks it's wrong, but also because he doesn't want to be sanctioned for aiding and abetting.
His classmate calms him down: "Nobody will be able to trace my homework to you: I'll be changing the names of all the constants and variables: a to b, x to y, and so on."
Not quite convinced, but eager to be left alone, the student hands his completed assignment to the classmate for copying.
After the deadline, the student asks: "Did you really change the names of all the variables?"
"Sure!" the classmate replies. "When you called a function f, I called it g; when you called a variable x, I renamed it to y; and when you were writing about the log of x+1, I called it the timber of x+1..."

Q: What does a mathematician present to his fiancée when he wants to propose?
A: A polynomial ring!

One last sets-related joke for the road...

Q: How does one insult a mathematician?
A: You say: "Your brain is smaller than any >0!"

Infinity?



Sounds like Greek to you?

Human Language:
As the value of x goes to 8 (starting from 0, then 0.0000000001 etc.. eventually 8), the denominator will eventually go to 0. When that happens, at Sec 4 level, teachers say "no such thing!" but at tertiary level, it really means that the entire fraction goes towards infinity... a very, very big number..

So what's the joke, you may ask??? Simple, the infinity symbol resembles an 8 that has been rotated 90 degrees (clockwise or anti, does it matter??) so the student assumed it was an 8 and did the same for the other question. Lame!!
