Q. Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip?
A. To get to the other – er…
Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions.
Noah’s Ark lands after The Flood and Noah releases all the animals, saying, “Go forth and multiply.” Several months pass and Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes. “What’s the problem?” asks Noah. “Cut down some trees and let us live there,” say the snakes. Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass and Noah checks up on the snakes again. He sees lots of little snakes; everybody is happy. Noah says, “So tell me how the trees helped.” “Certainly,” reply the snakes. “We’re adders, and we need logs to multiply.”
Two male mathematicians are in a café. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second mathematician disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of maths. The first goes off to the toilets, and in his absence his companion calls over the waitress.
He tells her that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer one third x cubed. She repeats, “One thir – dex cue”? He repeats, “One third x cubed”. “One thir dex cubed?” Yes, that’s right, he says. So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, “One thir dex cubed…”
The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point that most people do know something about basic maths. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks, “What is the integral of x squared?”.
As instructed, the waitress says “One third x cubed,” and while walking away, turns back and adds over her shoulder, “Plus a constant.”
1+1=3, for large values of 1 and small values of 3.
