You know that you've always wanted a fish curve

well now my life is complete.

well except for everything else that this fish curve didn't fulfil... which granted isn't much but is definitely enough to keep me existing ;)
 
When I'm bored I often go to Mathworld and click "Random Entry" till I find something of interest.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ChaosGame.html is a good one for interesting pictures, generating fractals (but not always) depending on 2 conditions and an initial point. Shows how subtle changes can bring "order into focus" from otherwise seemingly random systems :)
 
There are 10 types of people in this world- those who understand binary, and those who don`t

That is wrong, there are 11 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who use calculators to pretend they do.. but I guess then they'd still fal in the "don't know category".. but I couldn't think of another reason to change it from 10 to 11 :(
 
another math joke:

math nerds are -e^i*pi

or this oft-repeated one:

A well-known physics definition states that power equals work over time. It is also well known that knowledge is power, and that time is money. Substituting in these values yields the equation knowledge equals work over money, which can be rearranged to read money equals work over knowledge. As knowledge approaches zero, money grows infinitely large, no matter how much work you do! It is rumored that the day Bill Gates found out about this, he dropped out of Harvard.
 
Shamelessly copied from posts of mine in The Lounge :

Why didn't Cauchy like taking his dog for a walk?

Because it kept leaving residues at all the poles

There's a big party and all the exponentials of x are invited. 2^x and 3^x are drinking beer and talking, 4^x and 5^x are deciding what CDs to put on, 6^x and 7^x are kssing in the corner and 8^x, 9^x and 10^x are outside smoking. Everyone's having a great time apart from e^x who's in the corner on his own. 8^x comes in wasted and sees e^x.
"Mate, what's wrong? You don't look like you're enjoying yourself very much," says 8^x.
"The thing is I don't really know anyone," says e^x. "Everyone else are friends with each other and I feel a bit left out."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know anyone," says 8^x. "The point of going to parties is to meet new people. Try to talk to someone, mix with new groups, integrate."
"That won't change anything," replies e^x.

What do maths students use as a chatup line?

You are 1/cos(c)

Attractiveness (on a scale from 1-10) * IQ = Constant around 150.
 
Can anyone tell me what this says? And I'm not sure any of those retarded online calculators will work, so figure it out using math =P

lol.. I used an online binary to text converstion tool and it told me it says, "“Ø9·Á￾}}² -Ì￾femalesƒ» s¤^`ÈÒÆ×6W6X$Á‘¾nŽ¬ÌÐlikeƒ£CK™"

Which I assure you it doesn't, although it got two words right.

There once was a woman named Bright
whose speed was far faster than light
she set off one day
in a relative way
and came back the previous night
