The Square Root of Three

[samoth]

I’m sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed

funny movie!

"man i never knew i'd say this, but the klan sure know how to party!"

you don't know? it's harold and kumar.

Harold & Kumar

Now prove that the square root of 3 is an irrational number using the fact that 3 is prime and divisibility properties.

I've never even heard of that movie.

I should check it out sometime.

I hate proofs.

Old Physics Joke: A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are given an identical problem: Prove that all odd numbers greater than 2 are prime numbers. They proceed:

Mathematician: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is not a prime - counterexample - claim is false.

Physicist: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is an experimental error, 11 is a prime, ...

Engineer: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is a prime, 11 is a prime, ...

I work with engineers - how this hits the nail on the head!

When considering the behaviour of a howitzer:

A mathematician will be able to calculate where the shell will land.

A physicist will be able to explain how the shell gets there.

An engineer will stand there and try to catch it.

how can a square tree have roots?

how can a square tree have roots?

how can a tree be square?

Nerd thread alert! haha... I like Samoth.

 

[nimbus]

A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist are being interviewed for a
job. In each case, the interview goes along famously until the last
question is asked: "How much is one plus one?"

Each of them suspects a trap, and is hesitant to answer.

The mathematician thinks for a moment, and says "I'm not sure, but
I think it converges".

The physicist says "I'm not sure, but I think it's on the order of one"

The engineer gets up, closes the door to the office, and says "How much
do you want it to be?".

this thread sucks

OMG it is WAAAAYYYYYY too late for math....

Bunch of nerds up in here.

Good movie by the way

 

[Pat_McCrotch]

What movie is this from? I totally need to see it.

Harlod and Kumar's newest one. it is one of the funiest I have seen in a long time

I feel like passing out some wedgies!!!
