In my experience with mathematicians, they all enjoy puns and silly jokes. My dad is always punning and even my math professors at college engaged in puns.
So in honor of mathematicians everywhere here are 10 classic math puns for your groaning enjoyment.
1) How do you prove in three steps that a sheet of paper is a lazy dog?
- A sheet of paper is an ink-lined plane.
- An inclined plane is a slope up.
- A slow pup is a lazy dog.
2) A geometer went to the beach to catch the rays and became a TanGent.
3) Lumberjacks make good musicians because of their natural logarithms.
4) Math puns are the first sine of weakness
5) Some math students are so clueless. They think General Calculus is a famous war hero!
6) If General Calculus actually did exist, he probably knew how to integrate his troops together and differentiate between his enemies and his allies.
7) Trigonometry for farmers: swine and cowswine.
8 ) A student tired of doing geometry told his teacher, “I’ll do algebra, I’ll do trig, and I’ll even do statistics, but graphing is where I draw the line!”
9) Q. What happened to the plant in the math classroom?
A. It got square roots
10) Asked how his pet parrot died, the mathematician answered “Polynomial. Polygon.”
