A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist all agree: Platonic Realms cooks up new jokes, puns, and limericks every day!
Joke o'the Day:
To get to the Star Trek convention across state, a group of engineering students and a group of math students decided to take the train. Each of the engineering majors had a ticket for the trip, but the math students had only one ticket among them. When they told the engineering students this after everyone was aboard, the engineers all snickered and sneered.
Then someone called out, "here comes the conductor," and all of the math students scampered into the nearest restroom. The conductor came down the aisle saying, "tickets please," and each of the engineering students handed his or hers over. He then went to the restroom, knocked on the door and said "ticket please," and the math students stuck their ticket out under the door. The conductor took it and passed on. When the math students emerged smiling a few minutes later, the engineering students were chagrined.
So, on the way back from the convention, the group of engineers bought one ticket for their group. The math students, meanwhile, came on board with no ticket at all. When they told the engineering students this, they again snickered and sneered.
Then someone called out, "Conductor coming!" All the math students scampered into one restroom, while the engineering students hurried to another one farther along. Just before the conductor entered the car, one of the math students left their restroom, knocked on the door to the second restroom, and said, "ticket please."
A Lame One:
Question: Why can't you grow wheat in Z/6Z?
Answer: It's not a field.
Poetry Corner:
Using only a chalk and a board
A mathematician once showed
That twice two is five
Just to keep math alive
And the audience sure wasn't bored!
How They Do It:
Mathematicians do it by the numbers.
