Calculus: I don't really have one, but here's what I thought of today. Math is equal to the integral of Euler's Number times X to the Y power, factorial. I'll wait while you write that out.
You need some parentheses there, buddy.  :/
integral(x, e * ((x^y)!))?  Gamma functions = eff you.  Can you even DO that?  I..  Goddammit, I'm at work, I can't do this now D:  Thanks for distracting me for the next three hours!

I'm really hoping it's actually integral(e * (x^y) dx)! because that's... um, well, just ((e * x^(y+1)) / (y+1))! + C which is...  um...

integral(0..inf, t ^ (((e * x^(y+1)) / (y+1)) + C + 1) e^-t dt).

Am I doin' it right?  D:

Your Triple Derivative Maneuver is powerful, but it is no match for my Lowbrow Humor Kick!

Mine is also lowbrow humor ._.

Hint: if first derivative is velocity, and second is acceleration, what do we call the third?

My personal favorite math curse goes back to 2002.

On second viewing, this thread is actually really cool.  Toady helping with math!

I think my favorite weird math linkup is that calculus is also the word for dental plaque.

Mine is that asymptotes are witchcraft, and I have seen the occult rituals by which they are discovered. Mathemagicians beware, I am on to you.

I had a little electronic box thing called a Mathmagician.
That thing taught me quite a few awesome tricks regarding basic arithmetic.
Like dividing up things into smaller, easier chunks, and using powers of two for powers of four and eight, before I even knew what powers of two were.

Well, I had my last big move, set up a job interview for the week after, and then had my first day of work three weeks after that. Problem is- I recently found out the first paycheck from my crappy job won't be coming for a few weeks, because they need time to push the paperwork through. That's all well and good, however it doesn't help the feeling that I hadn't exactly saved up for the occasion, and for the last few days I've been slowly starving, having recently run out of bread, and having hit the 'point of no return', not being able to afford fuel enough to drive home. Not that I'd really do too well there, my concentration is shot and I'm sleepy pretty much all the time. Thank god I've got a computer, otherwise this whole deal would be a lot more painful.
So, I guess I'm going to see how much longer I can survive on coffee and whatever else I can find scavenged around the house, before I begin pawning off all of my assets.

Oh.  my god.  you are the first other person I have ever seen who has even GOTTEN that joke, let along MADE it themselves.

I always made quiet fun of the tri-delta fraternity ._.;

You have just made my night.  I'm not sure if this belongs in the 'sad' thread any more.  If you lived nearby, I would ask you out.
