The 10 cents was borrowed from his buddy. Since he owes 10 cents, the negative value is implicit. This is why math is important. :woot:

I'm just remembering the story told by a Math prof ,about a student who took a Calc exam ,where one problem involved Superman jumping from a building. It seems in exam, the student drew an incredibly -detailed picture of the problem, including a carefull drawing of the cape and costume, windows and other features of the building, potted plants in the balcony, etc. But he never bothered answering the problem itself.
 
Why does no one laugh at my jokes?

The joke:

Why was 6 scared of 7? sin(21°)
sin(21°) = cos(69°) = cos(69° + 720°) = cos(789°)

Why did the girl-eigenvector and the boy-eigenvector split up?

They found that they had very different eigenvalues. And they both needed more Hilbert space.

A bit of polishing...

girl-eigenvector to boy-eigenvector: "Of course I care. It's just that we have very different eigenvalues, and I need more Hilbert space."

I asked my mom's sister to rename herself 'derivative'. Then she'll become my auntie derivative.

So 6 is afraid of 7 cos(789), but to a degree that is cos(69) so perhaps 987 instead and now 6 is next in line?
