Horrible Halloween Math Joke

[DrPizza]

Apologies to all for this one... But if my students in calculus had to suffer through it, why not you guys?
Every year, I introduce derivatives of exponential functions on Halloween.


To celebrate Halloween, all the math teachers and professors got together for a big costume party. Each dressed up as their favorite math function. One particularly mean and eccentric math professor dressed up as the derivative. He ran up to the teacher dressed as cos(x) and yelled "I derive you!" The teacher tore off his costume and scurried off looking for a -sin(x) costume. The prof ran up to another teacher who was dressed as 4x^5 and yelled "I derive you!" The teacher tore off his costume and went scurrying off, looking for a 20x^4 costume. The prof ran up to a 3rd teacher and screamed "I derive you!" The teacher just stood there with his arms crossed. "Didn't you hear me?! I DERIVE YOU!" he shouted. Again, the teacher stood there, but with a smug expression on his face. "I derive you! I derive you! I derive you!" the professor shouted while jumping up and down. The teacher looked at him and said "derive me all you want. I'm e^x."

Lesson of the story? d/dx[e^x] = e^x

It's a good thing you weren't my calculus teacher. I might've quit college right then and there.

I so wish I had known this joke when I was a math teacher! Excellent.

I don't think any of my students would have ever gotten it though.

Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Metalloid]

Hahahah nice...

 

[hdeck]

never again.

Someone should have dressed up as an integral, gone up to the dirivative guy, and said "I integrate you!" Then he'd have to be f(x) for the rest of the day and it'd be a lot less annoying.

 

[gflores]

That's awesome! I'm guessing this is in high school, right? I just learned derivatives about 3 weeks ago

 

[Amorphus]

heheh. I love these stupid jokes.

I think this is even better than the joke!

What do you get when you divid the circumference of a jacko-lantern by its diameter?



pumkin pi!





Thank you, I am finished.

That was the *only* funny part. I think the kids would believe me if I told them I dressed up as a function for halloween.

What do you get if you take half of the circumference of a Jack o' Lantern and divide it by its radius?

Pumpkin pi


/edit MOGULMONSTER NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Claps* very good again. How have I missed these all these years?

 

[EvilYoda]

Wow. It's like my high school's online.

Sad part is I like math and found it amusing

 

[Kyteland]

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician?

He worked it out with a pencil.

Oh, Halloween math jokes. I get it now.

lol, that was funny

 

[Gunther]

Lol, good math jokes in this thread

 

[GambiT]

I still don't get the original joke. How could it even be funny? I don't get it. I get the dressing up as their favorite function (how dumb that actually looks/sounds/is)... But I don't get the punch-line.
