Maths jokes!

MathsManiac · 2007-11-14 01:59:19

I don't know how to make a sticky - is it only moderators can do that? [edit: posted back when I was a relative newb!] Anyway, I think a sticky for maths jokes would be good. Here's one to start, (an oldie but goodie!) There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who know binary and those who don't.

Q: What does the little mermaid wear?
A: An algae-bra.

I get it! I sooo get it!! It's because she's a mermaid and lives in the sea. She can't just go to Pennies and get her clothes there so she has to make one from algae. Totally!

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Why is the republican mathematician's favourite group Z31?
Because then 26+6=1.

That's brilliant! And would make a really good aid for enabling students to get an intuitive feel for what the algebraic expression of Pythagoras' Theorem states.

What witchcraft is this? Obviously a fake, as Pythagoras relates to lines, not area or volumes...
(Kidding! It's a great visual aid - I'll get my coat)
