/sci/ - Science & Math

Did you made those up yourself?

They are shit. But tbh, this effort is still better than all the Bill Nye pop-sci understanding shit usually post in those threads, so +1.

>I'll start.
As the OP?
Wow, how unusual

Do good math jokes exist?
Under the axiom of choice, sure. But it's not possible to find an explicit example.

>>7574473
It has been shown that the set of good math jokes has lebesgue measure zero (Tits, 1989)

>posting way-too-obvious proxy bait

Ok /sci/ listen to this.
I call it: The engineer theorem

For every three points in a two dimensional plane there's a line passing through all of them; It just needs to be large enough.

A comathematician is a device for turning cotheorems into ffee.

hey i remember that thread

An amusing anecdote:

>4th year math major
>majority of math classes is professors zooming over theorems and proofs on the board and cracking one liners at most
>only explain things in detail when asked and they do a great job at it

>need to burn up some credit hours, take physics 330 "Methods of Theoretical Physics"
>class is me, one other math major, 20 engineers/chemists
>entirety of the class is the professor holding the engineers' hands, explaining every single thing in immense detail
>engineers seem generally confused at every new concept
>complete lack of ability to generalize anything
>0 mathematical intuition
>professor consistently brushes their ego
>says things like "mathematicians are jealous because engineers get bigger paychecks"
>mfw he asks me and the other math guy "have you seen this before?" every time we cover something new
>mfw i see engineering undergrads trying to work with bessel functions and legendre polynomials
>mfw someone asks "what's a conjugate?"

Why are engineers so pathetic?

I'm glad someone capped this

Can we just make this into a /sci/ thread caps thread.

>>7575655
Agreed

I'm taking Molecular Dynamics Simulation, which has nearly the highest course number in the ME department, and we've spent the first half of the semester talking about statistical thermo, basic dynamics, and spring-mass systems/linear ODEs. Nearly every class, there's someone complaining that the homework is too hard (yes, there's homework) or asking the professor 'why do we need to know this' and 'when do we start using the LAMMPS software'.

I think he's run out of polite ways to say 'we'll start using the software when you dipshits finally understand what should have been prerequisites for this course'

Ayy, that's how I learned it, too!

>>7575687
The more obscene and infantile a mnemonic is, the easier it is for me to remember. I make a lot of similar mnemonics myself.

>the 'niggers' of gender

I know this is /b/ tier garbage, but I laughed anyway.

>>7574535
well that still leaves countably many, no?
