"It is from "Team America, World Police"
and is darn funny!"


nice to know...thanks

came to me in a many-forwarded email

Freepers rule

they (we) know everything

[dynachrome]

Man. I have truly hosed up here. I meant to refer to humblegunner's post in #18 with the Team America reference.
I lost track of who I was replying to. Arg-g-g-gh.

A dozen, a gross, and a score,
Plus three times the square root of four,
Divided by seven,
Plus five times 11
Is nine squared, and not a bit more.

((12 + 144 + 20 + 6) / 7) + 55 = 9² = 81
(182 / 7) + 55 = 81
(26 + 55) = 81

Al-Gorithm is an method of elucidating a parallel universe that is perpendicular to the brane we live in.

No....no....now what?

Algebran peruslause Wikipedia. Loikkaa: valikkoon, hakuun Matematiikassa algebran peruslause sanoo, että jokaisella yhden muuttujan polynomilla p(z), jonka aste n ≥ 1, on ainakin yksi nollakohta. Toisin sanoen kompleksilukujen kunta on algebrallisesti suljettu, ja siten yhtälöllä p(z) = 0 on n juurta. Juurista voi tosin olla joitakin keskenään samoja, joten juurten kertaluku täytyy ottaa huomioon juurten lukumäärää laskettaessa. Lauseen nimi on monien matemaatikoiden mielestä harhaanjohtava, sillä nykyään algebra tutkii paljon muutakin kuin pelkkiä polynomeja.

Interesting Theorem:
All positive integers are interesting.

Proof:
Assume the contrary. Then there is a lowest non-interesting positive integer. But, hey, that's pretty interesting! A contradiction.

The capture of Cal-culus may be only a myth. Although they were differentiated into two separate functions in the beginning I have heard there were reintegrated and now are only one.

Lighten up, I dont care who you are, this is funny.

But so old! I saw this one in 2001!

Can I steal that?

"Basketball is a peaceful planet!" Next you'll be sayng that futbol is a peaceful sport.

[madison10]

What of Al-Gebra's wicked cousin, Cal-Culus? Any word on his capture?

Al-Gebra's son, Al-Gebra II was worse. Hope they lock ALL those nasties up. They wreaked havoc on my grade point average and I hated them.

[LonePalm]

Sure, I did.

What an oblique tale.

From: http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/65172.html
Who invented algebra ?
It depends on what you mean by "algebra"! And that's exactly how D. E. Smith starts his chapter on the subject in his "History of Mathematics, volume 2":

When we speak of the early history of algebra it is necessary to consider first of all the meaning of the term. If by algebra we mean the science which allows us to solve the equation ax^2+bx+c=0, expressed in these symbols, then the history begins in the 17th century;
(NOT the the 6th century as some would suggest. -pyx)
if we remove the restriction as to these particular signs, and allow for other and less convenient symbols, we might properly begin the history in the 3rd century; if we allow for the solution of the above equation by geometric methods, without algebraic symbols of any kind, we might say that algebra begins with the Alexandrian School (The School of Alexandria (300 B.C.E. -- 200 A.D.) or a little earlier; and if we say that we should class as algebra any problem that we should now solve by algebra (even though it was at first solved by mere guessing or by some cumbersome arithmetic process), then the science was known about 1800 B.C., and probably still earlier.

He goes on to cover the earliest aspects briefly, mentioning such names as Ahmes, Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira, Liu Hui, Sun-Tzi, Heron, Diophantus, al-Khowarizmi, and so on. Each of these made a contribution at some level.

Yessir, and it never ceases to be funny. Anyone who is so anal that they cannot see the humor in this play on words needs to get a life. It is just plain good old fashioned family elgible humor.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

LOL

[Bigg Red]

Oh, no, I agree that it is very clever. I did not mean to sound critical. Sorry.
