The Si function is used in signal processing and by surveyors for GPS.

Si(x) = ∫x f(t) dt
where f(t) = sin t / t if t doesn't equal 0
and f(t) = 1 if t = 0

Si has a stationary point at π but you can classify this stationary point if you want.
no one cares, it was a joke

Q: What is the physicist's definition of a vector space?
A: A set V satisfying the axiom that for any x in V, x has a little arrow drawn over it
OMG that's how I thought of vectorspaces when I studied them this semester.

Mine is not that funny but here it is.

It is suggested that mathematics not be attempted under the influence, as it is difficult to drink and derive at the same time.

Uhh, I already posted this video on the thread 'you know you're doing too much maths when...' but whatever.

Follow the lyrics in the info box.

This is probably one of my all time favourite videos on YouTube.

"No Study = Fail
Study = No Fail

Therefore, Study + No Study = Fail + No Fail

Study (No + 1) = Fail (No + 1)

Hence, Study = Fail"
This implies that
No Study = Study = Fail = No Fail
lol :p

Mark Arnold is Denise and Graham Arnold's son. Funny thing is Mark was my 3unit teacher and his mother Denise was my 4unit teacher.

Their book is shocking, full stop. It is useful for revision purposes, but not for learning.
The questions are alright for volumes and conics, especially if your school uses CSSA trials. But I heard that they're getting scrapped anyway in favour of Bill Pender.

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a
public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being
charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a
fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and
extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value.
They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as
"unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of
the axis of evil with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes. I am gratified that our government has given us a sine
that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to
dis-integrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their roots, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential
to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we
become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor in random facts of
vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my
ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their
necks....."
Whole thread is hilarious but ^ is great! ROFL!

Here's mine: (bit lame)
Two statisticians are out hunting when one of them sees a duck. The first takes aim and shoots, but the bullet goes sailing past six inches too high. The second statistician also takes aim and shoots, but this time the bullet goes sailing past six inches too low. The two statisticians then give one another high fives and exclaim, "Got him!"

Another one, also a bit lame:

There are three men on a train. One of them is an economist and one of them is a logician and one of them is a mathematician. And they have just crossed the border into Scotland and they see a brown cow standing in a field from the window of the train (and the cow is standing parallel to the train). And the economist says, 'Look, the cows in Scotland are brown.' And the logician says, 'No. There are cows in Scotland of which at least one is brown.' And the mathematician says, 'No. There is at least one cow in Scotland, of which one side appears to be brown.
