Because he lost his Mu!

Now, this one I'll use in physics class on Tuesday!

LOL, I love that one! Made me laugh, first time I've read it.

Do you know how to tell the difference between an introverted mathematician, and an extroverted mathematician?

The extroverted mathematician stares at your shoes when he's talking to you.


(Told in a circle of Caltech students, all of which were staring at their own shoes except the joker, who was staring at the new guy's shoes)

He will be charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

I am laughing more than I should from that :D

A constant function and e^x are walking on Broadway. Then suddenly the constant function sees a differential operator approaching and runs away. So e^x follows him and asks why the hurry. "Well, you see, there's this differential operator coming this way, and when we meet, he'll differentiate me and nothing will be left of me...!" "Ah," says e^x, "he won't bother ME, I'm e to the x!" and he walks on. Of course he meets the differential operator after a short distance.
e^x: "Hi, I'm e^x"
diff.op.: "Hi, I'm d/dy"

Nice... it's good to see e^x get his come-uppance. He's a cocky little SOB.
