Shouldn't that be "square glass"?

Shouldn't that be "square glass"?

No, because then it would be a square root beer, not a root beer squared.

I cosine this joke. Even though it is a bit of a tangent, I like the angle:

I $r=1-\cos\phi$ this joke.

I don't know if it's a real discussion but it did make me laugh:

Tooltip: "So what do we do when we get to base 10? Do we use A, B, C, etc? No: Numbers larger than about 3.6 million are simply illegal."​

What do you get if you cross a mountain climber with a mosquito?

Nothing, you can't cross a scalar with a vector.

 

[collinsmark]

Oh, my. ... Based on that, I just made this one up.

What do you get when you cross a rotten apple with an angry baboon?

Spoiler

Apple: \vec a
Baboon: \vec b

$$\vec a \times \vec b = \begin{vmatrix} \hat x & \hat y & \hat z \\ a_x & a_y & a_z \\ b_x & b_y & b_z \\ \end{vmatrix} = (a_y b_z - a_z b_y) \hat x + (a_z b_x - a_x b_z) \hat y + (a_x b_y - a_y b_x) \hat z$$

There are 3 types of people in the world. Those that can add and those that can't.

Old but gold. There are ten kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Apologies for being a downer here, but this one's better if you actually write out the numbers: "There are 10 kinds of ..."

It's a matter of representation and pronunciation (verbalization might be a better term here). When switching bases, the numerical representation of the numbers may change, but their names don't. "10" is not "ten" in binary, it's still "two," and spoken of as such. In binary, ten is 1010.

Unfortunately sin(pi e) =~ 0.774. You need to eat 1/e of a pi e.

This one took me way too long to figure out...

Edit: I get it now. But I'll leave the crying emoji because onions...

Pi is 1/5th of the way through...

Of course I had to see if it existed but alas, all I could find was a Wiki article on a Pair of Pants (Mathematics).

It seems Zack Weinersmith pulled a subtle followup in today's (actually yesterday's) SMBC:

Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar. The first says, "I'll have a beer." The second says, "I'll have half a beer." The third says, "I'll have a quarter of a beer."

The barman pulls out just two beers. The mathematicians are all like, "That's all you're giving us? How drunk do you expect us to get on that?"

The bartender says, "Come on guys. Know your limits."

This one actually happened, told by a prof.of mine, prof X. One of the prof's students wrote a paper, in which he stated that everything in Mathematics he knew was thanks to Prof X. The paper was full of errors.
