Is math rampant where you live?

1. It's everywhere.

[ohiosmith]

4. How about a warning?

17. It was my understanding that there would be no math...

Liz Montgomery: Yes. Mr. President, you said that the Humphrey-Hawkins bill will cost a possible sixty billion dollars. But isn't it true that the jobs provided by the bill will create up to a hundred and fifty billion dollars in increased production -- using Walter Heller's figure that for every one percent unemployed, there is a resulting thirty-seven billion dollar loss in GNP. Now, at hte present rate of taxation on GNP of thirty-nine percent, doesn't this come to about the same sixty billion dollars in increased revenue?

President Gerald R. Ford: It was my understanding that there would be no math...

2. I heard that people who study infinity...

End up committing suicide.

[ohiosmith]

5. Thank you for sharing. I need a drink.

[Neoma]

9. I wasn't joking btw.

[ohiosmith]

11. I believe you. I will never ever study infinity.

[Ptah]

14. Does never stretch to infinity?

[graywarrior]

3. Yes

I'm taking my final math class to finish my degree and I HATE IT!!!

[ohiosmith]

6. Honestly? Congratulations.

[graywarrior]

12. Thanks.

First day of class and I'm ready to cry. LOL

7. My kid asked me if I had ever used math and I was like MY GOD WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN.

[ohiosmith]

22. Hahahaha!

8. Math invaded my kitchen while I was cooking. I'm embarrassed to admit this but...

- there was also some chemistry going on.

[baldguy]

10. you mean, like this?

[laconicsax]

15. That is AWESOME!

Almost as awesome as this:

[RebelOne]

13. No, not here in North Georgia.

Most cannot even add 2+2.

[pokerfan]

16. just the occassional ODE

which I cheat by using Laplace Transform:



I figure, why reinvent the wheel?

18. Take a guess:

Husband : Mechanical Engineer
Me: Mechanical Engineer

Kid1: Mechanical/Chemical Engineer
Kid2: Civil Engineer
Kid3:Urban Planner
Kid4: Computer Science Engineer/Pre-Med
Kid5:Environmental Planner
Kid6:environmental Engineer

19. It is here BUT

because of its close affinity to Science , people deny it.

[HopeHoops]

20. At least in our house it is.

21. My wife teaches a statistics seminar.

When we first met she was making extra money tutoring suffering calculus students.

While we were dating we'd sometimes go out with her PhD mathematician friends. I think she wanted to be sure I was okay with those sorts of people...

There have always been gifted math people in my life, since I was a kid.

Alas, I am not one of them. Any math I own beyond algebra, high school trig/geometry, and simple statistics has been very hard won.

My own kids abandoned me as a source of math advice early on in their high school years.

[LeftinOH]

23. There's a math lab right inside the school down the street!

[trof]

24. Very good copycat.

And responses are funnier than OP.
Kudos.

[ohiosmith]

25. Thanks trof.

26. I Got Mugged by pi last night

He wanted $3.14.

[hunter]

27. That was banker pi.

I got mugged by engineer pi. He wanted $355/113. I offered him $22/7 but he said that was too much.
