I think that math jokes can go one of two ways, they can be really funny, or absolutely terrible. Here are some that i think are pretty funny.
Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.
Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions.
Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them, they translate it into their own language, and forthwith it means something entirely different. -- Goethe
Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things. -- J. H. Poincare
Classification of mathematical problems as linear and nonlinear is like classification of the Universe as bananas and non-bananas
Q:What do you get when you add 2 apples to 3 apples?
A:Answer: A senior high school math problem.
Teacher: Now suppose the number of sheep is x...
Student: Yes sir, but what happens if the number of sheep is not x?
Write the expression for the volume of a thick crust pizza with height "a" and radius "z".
Explanation: The formula for volume is π·(radius)2·(height). In this case, pi·z·z·a.
A: "What is the integral of 1/cabin?"
B: "log cabin."
A: "Nope, houseboat--you forgot the C."
The integral of 1/x is loge(x).
However, since it's integration, you've got to add a constant.
So ∫(1/cabin) = loge(cabin) + c, or "a log cabin plus the sea."
A mathematician, an engineer, and a chemist were walking down the road when they saw a pile of cans of beer. Unfortunately, they were the old-fashioned cans that do not have the tab at the top. One of them proposed that they split up and find can openers. The chemist went to his lab and concocted a magical chemical that dissolves the can top in an instant and evaporates the next instant so that the beer inside is not affected. The engineer went to his workshop and created a new HyperOpener that can open 25 cans per second.
They went back to the pile with their inventions and found the mathematician finishing the last can of beer. "How did you manage that?" they asked in astonishment. The mathematician answered, "Oh, well, I assumed they were open and went from there."
