Maths Jokes
17
Does anyone know any good maths jokes? I know they're sad, but they're also funny.
I've got one:
A group of scientists conduct an experiment on 3 students. They lock them each in an empty room on their own for 24 hours with nothing but a pen, some paper, and a tin of food (but no tin opener).
In the first room is a Chemistry student. After the 24 hours, the scientists examine his room. They find that he has eaten the contents of the tin, and he tells them that he threw the tin against the wall repeatedly until it cracked open.
In the second room is a Physics student. When they examine his room, again, they find the contents of the tin eaten. However, the paper is covered with reams and reams of calculations. The student tells them that he worked out exactly how to throw the tin against the wall so that it would crack open first time, and succeeded.
In the third room is a Maths student. However, when the scientists examine the room, there is no sign of him. The paper is, as with the Physics student, covered in calculations. But the scientists suddenly realise that strange sounds are coming from inside the tin. They immediately open it, and the Mathematician crawls out, saying: "Damn! I got a sign wrong!"
Oh, and:
Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 8 9
Anyone else?

Person 1: What's the integral of 1/cabin?
Person 2: A natural log cabin.
Person 1: No, a houseboat – you forgot to add the c!

Q. What's warm, nutricious and commutative?
A. Abelian Soup.
Q. Why wasn't Galois the first to prove the insolubility by radicals of the general quintic?
A. Because he wasn't Abel
Q. Why can't you combine a mosquito with a mountain climber?
A. Because you can't cross a vector with a scalar
There was a budget meeting at the university. The chancellor was complaining about the budget demands of the physics department... "Why do you need all this money for particle accelerators and electronic microscopes? Why can't you be more like the math department, they just need money for pens, paper and bins... or even better, like the philosophy department; they just need the pens and papers"
Groan away, lol.

Some mathematicians are shown a cube and asked what they see.
Topologist: I see a sphere.
Graph theorist: I see eight vertices and twelve edges.
Geometer: I see a cube.

You're not serious? I'll humour you anyway.
Seven ATE Nine. Thus causing fear for Seven's other neighbour 6, perhaps it should not worry as 7 is moving up not down. Watch out 10.

6 is afraid of 7 because 7 ate 9.
So Mr.6 is like oooo nooo I don't like 7 cos he eats ppl. Can't really expand that joke much further.
Pictorial representation:
6=
(scared)7=
(bully, eats numbers, we hate this one)8 = ATE, physical eating
9 =
he's mad cos he was ate by number 7Haha I dont think I can do much further expanding, but its just a play on words really, you prob dont get joke cos it isnt that funny tbh ha

sinx, cosx and e^x go into a bar, sin and cos are having a right laugh,
but e^x is just sitting in the corner. cos asks him, why dont u integrate like us? e^x says, it wouldnt make a difference
but e^x is just sitting in the corner. cos asks him, why dont u integrate like us? e^x says, it wouldnt make a difference

Well just integrate with respect to y then
