A math limerick:

Integral t-squared dt
from 1 to the cube root of 3
times the cosine
of three pi over 9
equals log of the cube root of 'e'.

PS: don't assume that I came up with that, I just found it on the 'net.

PPS: and please remember: math and alcohol don't mix, so...please don't drink and derive!
 
This:

...is a limerick. :)
 
Three Navaho women sit side by side on the ground. The first woman, who is sitting on a goatskin, has a son who weighs 140 pounds. The second woman, who is sitting on a deerskin, has a son who weighs 160 pounds. The third woman, who weighs 300 pounds, is sitting on a hippopotamus skin. What famous geometric theorem does this symbolize?

The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides. :D
 
There are 10 groups of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.


There are three kinds of mathematicians -- those who can count and those who can't.


Three statisticians went rabbit hunting one day. While walking along, they scared a rabbit out of the brush and send him running. The first statistician shot and there was a puff of dust 1 yard behind the rabbit. The second shot next and there was a puff of dust one yard in front of the rabbit. The third one yelled, "We got it!!"


One day, Jesus said to his disciples, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like 3 x^2 + 8 x - 9."
A man who had just joined the disciples looked very confused and asked Peter, "What, on Earth, does he mean by that?"
Peter smiled. "Don't worry. It's just another one of his parabolas."

The square of the Hypotnuese is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Been a loooong time sice I got the Math Minor (All I had to do was sign the paper as my college required that much Math for the Computer Science program.)
 
Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. I guess I was expecting a false equation after the don't drink and derive thing :D
 
"Beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell." -- St. Augustine (354-430)


Actually, St. Augustine was referring to astrologers. but I love to use the quote in my work.........
 
A mathematician decides that he is tired of math and wants to become a fireman. So, he goes down to the fire department and asks the fire chief for a job. The chief says, "Well, first I have to give you some tests."

The fire chief takes the mathematician to the alley behind the fire department, which contains a dumpster, a spigot, and a hose. The chief then says, "You're walking in the alley and see that the dumpster is on fire. What do you do?"

The mathematician replies, "I attach the hose to the spigot, turn on the water, and put out the fire."

The chief says, "OK, good. Now, what do you do if you're walking in the alley and see that the dumpster is NOT on fire?"

The mathematician thinks about this for awhile, then finally replies, "I light the dumpster on fire."

The chief hollers, "What? Why would you light the dumpster on fire?"

The mathematician replies, "This reduces the problem to one that I've already solved."
 
Hey, don't call me a nerd or I'll kick your arse ;)

Your equation is a fancy way of writing 1 = 1 :D

1=1
=>
1/3 = 1/3
=>
(2/3)*(1/2) = 1/3
=>
(2/3)*cos(pi/3) = 1/3
=>
(1-1/3)*cos(3*pi/9) = 1/3*1
=>
(1-1/3)*cos(3*pi/9) = 1/3*ln(e)
=>
[(sqrt3(3) ^ 3)/3 - (1^3)/3] = ln(sqrt3(e))
=>
[integral_from_1_to_sqrt3(3) (t^2) dt] * cos(3*pi/9) = ln(sqrt3(e))

Q.E.D.

Click to expand...

Pretty easy when you put it like that.

I need a beer. :D
 
Did you hear about the statistician who drowned in a pond that was only a foot deep........ on average?
 
I worked out the equation to see if it actually balanced. You win this round, Quiet Storm :mad: :mad: :D

Derivative of (R^2)/2
 
Yeah, the equation is correct. I like the limerick form better tho. :D

2-3 drinks and I can still derive...just slower than usual.
