Calculus Joke Subject description: lol |
|
so i heard this one today and i thought it was really funny. maybe one or two of you guys might, too
Quote: | e^x and a constant were walking down the street talking. As they were going on, they saw a differential modifier up ahead walking toward them. "Uh-oh," said the constant, "I'd better scram. If that differential modifier gets to me I'll be turned into nothing!" e^x replied, "Whatever, man. Not like I have anything to worry about." The constant left and e^x kept walking. When the differential modifier and e^x met, e^x said, "Hi there, I'm e^x." The differential modifier replied, "Hi! I'm d/dy!" |
lol

Here's a half-assed attempt to explain it: a differential modifier measures the rate of change for a function in a specific variable. For linear functions, this is just the slope of the function.
so... d/dx (3) = 0 because it's a flat line. that's why the constant is so afraid.
d/dx (e^x) = e^x because it's nifty like that. that's why the e^x doesn't mind.
however - the differential modifier works with respect to a specific variable. if you're finding the derivative with respect to the y variable, a function that is based purely in x will never change in y. so...
d/dy (e^x) = 0 because there is no y variable that would affect the derivative
it's a mathematician's attempt at irony.

I was trying to make some sort of clever pun here about e^iy being an imaginary friend but I couldn't get the wording how I wanted it so I'm just going to state my intentions here!
Also I love that joke.
Also hello rjg 8)

Pretty good.
I've always liked this shirt:
Or this poem from the second Harold and Kumar (though I'm sure it's from elsewhere).
I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.

Haha, that's great.
Doing good little richard! We're doing well, living on our own and what have you, and school is just starting up for me--scary.
Ok bye!@
