(Inspired by the most recent post in the "Delete This Thread, Please" thread.)  The fifth one is spoilerized; don't miss it!

Haha, brilliant. :D

The last one reminds me of a professor of mine (yes, he actually showed us this joke in between two hours of tutorial on statistics) who also had a good way to remember the number 'six': just divide the sine of x by n:

sinx = six
  n

because the 'n' in the nominator (sp?) and the 'n' in the denumerator (sp?) can be eliminated.

He had a couple more of those, but I can't seem to recall them.

Túrin

heh...

numerator, denominator  :)

yeah, I like that one, and the Batman one in particular.

Higher education has nothing on you, does it? :p

I love them all, especially the "Find X" one and the elephant one - the first because it's so literal, the second because it's so surreal.

My Calc II prof had a number of jokes.

ex.

take the intergral of 1/(mower)

 [spoiler]intergral of 1/(mower) = ln(mower)[/spoiler]

can't think of any others at the moment.

And, of course, there are the ever popular math sexual innuendos, the most popular one being "I wish I was derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves."

Oh I remember another one:

The exponential function (f(x) = e^x) is walking through a narrow alley. Suddenly he sees a differential operator (or should that be "differentiation operator"? I hate writing about math in English :P). The operator says: "Get out of the way or I'll differentiate you." The function answers: "Do your worst! I'll just remain the same." But the operator says: "Ha! But I differentiate with respect to y!"

Slighty related and equally tickling...
