I know I've been posting about math a lot lately, but oh well.

I found these looking for a good math joke to tell my kids this week as we are learning about the Pythagorean Theorem. I didn't find the joke I had been thinking of, but I found these amusing. :) If you've taken any upper level math, these are for you.


You Might be a Mathematician if ...
at the age of 19 your most productive years are behind you;
your major result will be named for someone else;
your fame lies in posing the question you can't answer;
you make mistakes ... but they are really interesting mistakes;
you wonder how Euler pronounced "Euclid";
your major was Mathematics, minor Caffeine;
you know all of the Greek alphabet, but not a word of Greek;
you can fold planar strips into regular polyhedra ... entirely in your head.
