Nope. The mathematician didn't know what a cow was, but he did know about fields.

We think the cow is somewhere in a field with an uncountably infinite number of dimensions right now, but the mathematician is still figuring out how to use the axiom of choice to find it again.

:smile:

My physics teacher was just saying "we love the chain rule". First I thought of "we love Katamari", then I remembered Full Metal Jacket.

This is my chain rule. There are many like it but this one is mine.

So, who exactly goes to grad school anyways? I mean, I never had any trouble doing things like \nabla\!\mathbf{f}, and yet people go to a special school just to learn one operation??

You got it wrong, grad school means they spend their time grading exams. Ask any grad student if you doubt.

Just look for the cow pi. :rolleyes:

Or, find out if the standard lion-finding methods also work on cows.

(Google "math joke lion sahara" if you don't know what I'm talking about).

How to artificially create a black hole.

1. Dig a pit into the ground.
2. Step away.
3. Is it black?
4. You have successfully made a black hole!

That's seems fair enough. The gradding procedure is finding which students have potentials.

HA! I get it. I've heard a few good jokes that use a similar trick but I can't remember them at the moment.

"It's a plane figure," Tom said flatly.
"99 is almost 100," said Tom roughly.
"1,3,5,7," Tom said oddly.
"Space is an infinite set of points," Tom said distantly.
"They are mirror images," reflected Tom.
"Consider a linear 2-dimensional universe", Tom's teacher said plainly.
"Not I", Tom replied unimaginatively.
"Why not?", she asked initially.
"We haven't discussed the addition problems", Tom said nonplused.
"I don't know what (b^2 - 4ac) equals and I don't care!" said Tom indiscriminately...

A scientist and his friend walk into a bar. The scientist says, "I'll have a cup of H2O." His friend said, "I'll have a cup of H2O, too." Then he died.

Duct tape is like the force. They both have a dark side and a light and come in handy when you're kidnapping a princess

For the course evaluation for the chemistry lab I have, I wrote "This field intentionally left blank." in the additional comments box... :biggrin:

That's good.

I memorized this one from my childhood:

There once was a lad who drank some water
Poor lad, he is no more
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4


But yours is way better.

A neutron walks into a bar...

and orders a drink. "How much?" he asks,
the bartender says “For you, no charge."



Two atoms walk into a bar, one turns to the other and says, "I believe I lost an electron". The other atom says, "are you sure?" to which the first atom replies. "im positive".



A photon bumps into a electron, and the electron asks "where are you going why the rush?" The photon replies "I have mass." The electron says "I didnt know photons had mass." The photon replies "I'm catholic."
