Math Jokes

Basically, they're lame and, unless you're a geek, you won't get them.

Three statisticians went duck hunting and finally came across a duck. The first one shot at it but aimed too high and missed. Then the second one shot but aimed too low and missed. The third one jumped up and down all excited and yelled "We hit it we hit it!!!!"

What did one math book say to the other? Leave me alone, I've got my own problems

What did the mathematician call his band? The Logarithms

Descartes went to relax at a tavern. The barkeep approached and said, "Ah, good evening Monsieur Descartes! Shall I serve you the usual drink?". Descartes replied, "I think not.", and promptly vanished.

^^^(think philosophy if you don't get that one).

Did you hear the one about the statistician? Probably...

What's the integral of "one over cabin" with respect to "cabin"? Natural log cabin + c = houseboat

Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side

There was once a very smart horse. Anything you showed it, he mastered it easily. Until one day someone tried to teach it rectangular coordinates and he just couldn't understand them. Everyone tried to figure out what was wrong and couldn't. Then a new guy looked at the problem and said "Of course he can't do it, you're putting Descartes before the horse!"

And finally, the world's shortest math joke: Let Epsilon < 0

You know you've taken too much math when.............

On a similar note:

An engineer, physicist, and mathematician are all challenged with a problem: to fry an egg when there is a fire in the house. The engineer just grabs a huge bucket of water, runs over to the fire, and puts it out. The physicist thinks for a long while, and then measures a precise amount of water into a container. He takes it over to the fire, pours it on, and with the last drop the fire goes out. The mathematician pores over pencil and paper. After a few minutes he goes "Aha! A solution exists!" and goes back to frying the egg.

Sequel: This time they are asked simply to fry an egg (no fire). The engineer just does it, kludging along; the physicist calculates carefully and produces a carefully cooked egg; and the mathematician lights a fire in the corner, and says "I have reduced it to the previous problem."

e^x and x^2 go to a party. x^2 is having a great time at the party, mingling with everyone and laughing it up. He sees e^x sitting off in a corner by himself, not socializing at all. He comes up to e^x and says, "Why don't you integrate?" e^x says, "Dude, it doesn't matter..."

Did I mention how much I hate calculus?

I actually laughed at that last one quite a bit, pretty good. I also enjoyed the log cabin one, and of course the egg one.
