An engineer thinks that his equations are an approximation to reality. A physicist thinks reality is an approximation to his equations. A mathematician doesn’t care.
In Alaska, where it gets very cold, pi is only 3.00. As you know, everything shrinks in the cold. They call it Eskimo pi.
To a mathematician, real life is a special case
A geometer went to the beach to catch the rays and became a TanGent..
The highest moments in the life of a mathematician are the first few moments after one has proved the result, but before one finds the mistake.
Math and Alcohol don’t mix, so… PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DERIVE! (lestu betur:P)
Q: What do you get if you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber.
A: You can’t cross a vector with a scalar.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary math, and those who don’t. – mohaha
This is a one line proof…if we start sufficiently far to the left.
What keeps a square from moving? Square roots, of course.
The number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again.
Klárlega góð viðbót frá Elís…
Proof by general agreement
“All in favor?. . . ”
Proof by imagination
“Well, we’ll pretend it’s true. . .
Proof by intimidation
“Don’t be stupid; of course it’s true.”
Proof by accident
“Hey, what have we here?!”
Proof by definition
“We define it to be true.”
Proof by calculus
“This proof requires calculus, so we’ll skip it.”
Proof by divine word
“And the Lord said, ‘Let it be true,’ and it was true.”
Proof by simplification
“This proof reduces to the statement 1 + 1 = 2.”
Proof by clever variable choice
“Let A be the number such that this proof works. . “

You might be an engineer if . . .
. . . you have no life and can prove it mathematically.
. . . you enjoy pain.
. . . you know vector calculus but you can’t remember how to do long division.
. . . you chuckle whenever anyone says “centrifugal force.”
. . . you’ve actually ever used every single function on your graphing calculator.
. . . when you look in the mirror, you see an engineering major.
. . . it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
. . . you frequently whistle the theme song to “MacGyver.”
. . . you always do homework on Friday nights.
. . . you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
. . . you think in “math.”
. . . you’ve calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
. . . you hesitate to look at something because you don’t want to break down its wave function.
. . . you have a pet named after a scientist.
. . . you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
. . . the Humane Society has had you arrested because you actually performed the Schroedinger’s Cat Experiment.
. . . you can translate English into Binary.
. . . you can’t remember what’s behind the door in the science building which says “Exit.”
. . . you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there’s a wind-chill factor in the lab.
. . . you are completely addicted to caffeine.
. . . you avoid doing anything because you don’t want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
. . . you consider any non-science course “easy.”
. . . when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
. . . the “fun” center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
. . . you’ll assume that a “horse” is a “sphere” in order to make the math easier.
. . . you understood more than five of these indicators.
. . . you make a hard copy of this list and post it on your office door.
. . . you think it might be a neat idea to send this message to all of your friends in the form of email.

Þessir brandarar eru bara of góðir, mamma og litli bróðir voru ekki að fíla þá alveg jafnvel samt (þeir töpuðu eiginlega öllum skriðþunga þegar ég þurfti að útskýra þá í annað sinn!!!)
ahahaha… Já skriðþunginn varðveitist víst ekki í gegnum aðra atrennu:P
