In my case, one has to learn it in the first place in order to remember it. The only thing I remember from that class was how easy it was to take a nap.

Youre such a snecky devil,arent you?No one ever notices the d part,even if its the same size as the rest of the formulae

The differential, or whatever its name is in English, can be a very useful method of sneakyness. :devious: :) And actually I'm a dragon, not a devil.

That was the catch: it said dy in the fine print!

Alright, just for that, you'll have to endure a Bad Math Joke (I could ask a certian someone to post a certain something, but then I'd have to read it again myself, and my eyes haven't stopped burning since last time):

e and e^x are out walking in Hilbert Space. They then see a differential operator approaching, and e gets scared:
"I don't want to be turned into a zero"
"Don't worry, i'll go talk to him. He can't touch me- I'm e^x". So e^x walks over to the operator, who greets him with
"Hi. I'm d/dy" :D

Hey, I told you it was bad

My teacher told us an e^x story when we first learned derivatives.

"Once upon a time, Prince Charming was fighting the Evil Ogre in derivatives. The Ogre derivated Charming, but didn't hurt him. Charming derivated the Ogre and reduced his power by 1..." [repeat twice more] "... so after the third derivative the Ogre was vanquished and yet Charming remained unscathed. Who were they?"

On a less mathematical note, to atoms bump into each other on the street. "Are you OK?" asks one. "No, I've lost and electron" came the reply. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive!"

That's easy: a mathematician. Who else would be sadistic enough to inflict such pain upon the world? Well, apart from chemists, of course :devil:

I remember once,in third grade of high school,a teacher of ours made one math problem for the competition of the first graders.There wasnt a single student in school that could solve it,not even a friend from my class that went into olympics next year.

Inflict pain on the world? What did we ever do?

Besides isolating plutonium, of course. B-)

Hmm... math jokes from when we were really young?

Why does 6 hate 7?

Let me get this straight: 6 was having a relationship with 9, but then 7 ate 9, so now 6 hates 7; but why is 6 jealous?
