Hi all,

I thought it would be funny to open a thread like this.
So feel free to post!


You're too much of a mathematician if ...

... if you think that "epsilon < 0" is funny.

neutrino

IF you think? It is funny.

Oblef

omg I didn't understand it, thank God..!!

Moridin

...if you think that the x-component of the vector formed by your instructors mustache is at its largest value at [tex]\cos \theta = 1[/tex]

Jimmy Snyder

... if you think the reason the downtown area is called the center is because everyone commutes there.

Thrice

.. you can (finally) tell a doughnut from a coffee mug.

neutrino

Wouldn't you be a normal person if you can do that?

rocomath

lol, i didn't understand the first one either

but the others are pretty funny so far

The "finally" is important.

...if you deny that there can be such a thing as "too much of a mathematician"... and subsequently disappear in a puff of logic.

Maybe it should've been:

...if you can't tell a doughnut from a coffee mug.

TeTeC

...if you use the word "trivial" or "evident" more than once a day

Lisa!

...if you think .999999999=1

<runs and hides>

neutrino

You see, now that would be an engineer/physicist.

I presume you meant 0.9999999... = 1.

Lisa!

Oops...no , now thats a real mathematician considring this 1:

You are a mathematician if you say 'A', write 'B' but mean 'C'

qspeechc

If you begin a day to day argument: " For all x such that..."

ice109

that one is good

morphism

I would add "there exists" to that list!

My favorite one so far is jimmysnyder's.
