gwnn Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerben42 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think I'll take my Carnot cycle to the h bar for a Heisenberg.... How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the drury lessons involving quantum mechanics... Now for my addition: Q: What do you get when you cross an elephant with a mountain climber? A:Not possible because the mountain climber is a scalar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 You can't, a mountain climber is a scaler (scalar). BTW, found dozens of math/physics jokes like (and including) these on this page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceptic Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I struggle to count to 13, how do you expect me to get this joke, I am claiming brain discrimination and I want compensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 So, the quantum card shark never loses a finesse because he uses quantum uncertainty to require the missing card to be in the spot that it might be in....when he observes it to be there during the finesse!

bid_em_up Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hmm, this must be like the joke about the two strings that go into a bar. Bartender asks the first one, "Are you a string?" and the string says yes. Bartender says "Sorry, we don't serve strings here" and then asks the second one,"Are you a string?" And the string says "Nope, frayed knot." (What the hell was he saying? I'm d/dy?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 the functions are having a party. everyone has a good time, drinking and dancing and laughing, except one lonely one, who is just sitting in the corner. cos(x) asks atan(x)'hey what is he doing? why doesn't he dance with us?''oh he's just exp(x**2), he can't integrate' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I recently was a moderator at SURF, where college students report on their summer research for NIST. A perfect place to encounter such humor. Q: Why did the chicken cross the Mobius Strip? A: To get to the other... oh never mind. At which point another student remarked that she had a Klein Bottle Opener if one was needed. The Kids are all right. Our future is in good hands.

kenberg Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Actually exp(x^2), because of his continuously changing nature, was capable of integration. But the results defied easy description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
