I have more jokes this week!
Never name your son pi. Pi's a funny name isn't it? It's like if someone
goes up to you and asks what your name is, you can be like 'Pi'. But
then they'd say 'no, what's your full name?' You'd be all like 'Don't
ask man, we'd be here forever
Why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip?
To get to the other... wait...
Your Mum's so mean, she has no standard deviation!
Two cats are sliding down a roof at the same time - which one falls off first?
The one with the smaller mu
Sorry for the pathetic amount this week. I've been busy today, and I'm about to play Lego Batman 2 with my sister for the first time in 10 weeks, so I'm a little distracted!

Monday Maths 16
I have more pictures for you today :)
I realise that I really ought to write an actual blog post sometime soon. I have an idea for one, but it's finding the time/energy/words to write it that is slowing me down. Soon!

Monday Maths Madness 15
As it is Hallowe'en this Wednesday, I have some Hallowe'en themed maths madness! Muahahaha
This is probably the only kind of pumpkin pie I like...
More pumpkin pi! Apparently there aren't a lot of Hallowe'en maths jokes on the internet. In fact I could only find one other. This one seems really popular out on the web.
Why do mathematicians sometimes confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.
Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.
Basically counting to 31 using base 8 is the same as counting to 25 using base 10 (and yes I did just have to write out all the numbers to check I was explaining the joke right...). It just so happens that October 31st and December 25th are significant dates in the calendar. Spooky!
Happy Hallowe'en everyone! :)

Monday Maths Madness 11
I have a few A Mathematician And... jokes for you this week.
A physicist and a mathematician are sitting in a faculty lounge. Suddenly, the coffee machine catches on fire. The physicist grabs a bucket and leap towards the sink, filled the bucket with water and puts out the fire. Second day, the same two sit in the same lounge. Again, the coffee machine catches on fire. This time, the mathematician stands up, got a bucket, hands the bucket to the physicist, thus reducing the problem to a previously solved one.
A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician were sitting in a street cafe watching the crowd. Across the street they saw a man and a woman entering a building. Ten minutes they reappeared together with a third person.
- They have multiplied, said the biologist.
- Oh no, an error in measurement, the physicist sighed.
- If exactly one person enters the building now, it will be empty again, the mathematician concluded.
Several scientists were all posed the following question: "What is 2 * 2 ?"
The engineer whips out his slide rule (so it's old) and shuffles it back and forth, and finally announces "3.99".
The physicist consults his technical references, sets up the problem on his computer, and announces "it lies between 3.98 and 4.02".
The mathematician cogitates for a while, then announces: "I don't know what the answer is, but I can tell you, an answer exists!".
Philosopher smiles: "But what do you mean by 2 * 2 ?"
Logician replies: "Please define 2 * 2 more precisely."
The sociologist: "I don't know, but is was nice talking about it".
Behavioral Ecologist: "A polygamous mating system".
Medical Student : "4" All others looking astonished : "How did you know ??" Medical Student : :I memorized it."
A physicist, a mathematician, and a mystic were asked to name the greatest invention of all time. The physicist chose the fire, which gave humanity the power over matter. The mathematician chose the alphabet, which gave humanity power over symbols. The mystic chose the thermos bottle.
"Why a thermos bottle?" the others asked.
"Because the thermos keeps hot liquids hot in winter and cold liquids cold in summer."
"Yes -- so what?"
"Think about it." said the mystic reverently. That little bottle -- how does it *know*?"
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were traveling through Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train.
"Aha," says the engineer, "I see that Scottish sheep are black."
"Hmm," says the physicist, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black."
"No," says the mathematician, "All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that one sheep is black!"
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are all given identical rubber balls and told to find the volume. They are given anything they want to measure it, and have all the time they need. The mathematician pulls out a measuring tape and records the circumference. He then divides by two times pi to get the radius, cubes that, multiplies by pi again, and then multiplies by four-thirds and thereby calculates the volume. The physicist gets a bucket of water, places 1.00000 gallons of water in the bucket, drops in the ball, and measures the displacement to six significant figures. And the engineer? He writes down the serial number of the ball, and looks it up.
There are many more here. Enjoy!

Monday Maths Madness 6
I don't have any pictures this week, so I thought I would do a series of (really bad) maths jokes. Here we go.
Three statisticians go hunting. When they see a rabbit, the first one shoots, missing it on the left. The second one shoots and misses it on the right.
The third one shouts: "We've hit it!"
Why is 6 scared of 7?
Because 7 8 9...
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
There are 3 types of mathematicians in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.
A math professor is talking to her little brother who just started his first year of graduate school in mathematics.
"What's your favorite thing about mathematics?" the brother wants to know.
"Knot theory."
"Yeah, me neither."
"What is Pi?"
A mathematician: "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter."
A computer programmer: "Pi is 3.141592653589 in double precision."
A physicist: "Pi is 3.14159 plus or minus 0.000005."
An engineer: "Pi is about 22/7."
A nutritionist: "Pie is a healthy and delicious dessert!
What does the little mermaid wear?
An algae-bra
There are loads more on this website if you fancy it.
