MATHEMATICS M__________________________________________________________________________ From Susan Stepney ([email protected]) I always love the "Doc Smith" approach to mathematics, where Our Hero glances at an equation (sorry, "formula"), and instantly says "of course...!" My experience is usually more like "I don't know what on earth that means" ... scribble, scribble, scribble ... "Oh, yes, but what a weird way of writing it" ... scribble, scribble, scribble ... "now *this* should be a much clearer way" ... scribble, scribble, scribble ... "oh, it's identical to what I started with. But *now* I understand it." I can't *read* maths, I can only write it :-) A colleague of mine put it better: "mathematics is not a spectator sport". M__________________________________________________________________________ From the "Cow" collection at (Found in Michael Cook's ([email protected]) Canonical List of Math Jokes) (__) (oo) /---------\/ / | x=a(b)|| * ||------|| ^^ ^^ Mathematical Cow (developer of cow-culus) M__________________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] (Judah Kelber) Advanced math Seen the week before finals on the chalkboard right after a Math 233 (Discrete Math) class at the University of Oregon: 59 + 34 + 2 + 37 + 97 = some number And here I thought math classes were hard.... M__________________________________________________________________________ From: "Ami=Friend" <[email protected]> prof : how much 7 x 24 = ? student : it's 168. prof : prove it. student: 16 + 8 = 24 prof : and 7 x 27 + ? student : 189 prove 18+9 = 27 prof : and 21 x 7 = ? student : 147 prove 14 + 7 = 21 prof: and 18 x 7 = ? student : 126 prove 12 + 6 = 18 etc.. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: RickT <[email protected]> Q: What happens when you don't divide one by anything? A: You divide one by nothing and get a divide by zero error. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] (larry james) There really are only two types of people in the world, those that DON'T do MATH, and those that take care of them. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] From: [email protected] (Henry G. Baker) from: Yucks Digest V7 #7 (shorts) Customer: "How much is a large order of Fibonaccos?" Cashier: "It's the price of a small order plus the price of a medium order." [Extra credit question: Which Fibonaccos size is the worst rip-off? [Extra credit answer: The smallest; it costs as much as the next larger size... -psl] M__________________________________________________________________________ From: "I.A. Paul" <[email protected]> When in the company of scientific/mathematical minds, I like to lighten the atmosphere by observing that I sneeze always in Fibonacci's Sequence. "The only problem is," I conclude, "when I sneeze only once, I'm never certain whether I'm sneezing in the first or second of the sequence. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] (Xcott Craver) "Paper or plastic?" "Not 'Not paper AND not plastic!!'" -Augustus DeMorgan in a grocery store M__________________________________________________________________________ From: Anthony Peck <[email protected]> Q: Divide 14 sugar cubes into 3 cups of coffee so that each cup has an odd number of sugar cubes. A: 1,1,12 Riposte: 12 isn't odd! A: It's an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee (groan) From: Tord Kallqvist Romstad <[email protected]> This joke reminds me of an excercise actually given in the exam in a course on combinatorics and discrete mathematics here at the University of Oslo last year: Calculate the number of ways 30 identical objects can be distributed among 5 numbered containers with all containers nonempty in such a way that containers 1, 3 and 5 contains an odd number of objects, and containers 2 and 4 contains an even numbers. Incredible, isn't it? I later heard that the number 30 was a typo. It should have been an odd number. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: Mark David Biesiada <[email protected]> never say "N factorial", simply scream "N" at the top of your lungs. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: Volker Moell <[email protected]> a funny, but true story: a friend of mine (2.5 years hasn't heard anything about mathematics) saw in his first semester at university the following equation (taylor): f(0) f'(0) f(x) = ---- + ----- x + ... 0! 1! after reading the first ("0") he thought: "what's about the exclamation mark? oh, i see: you can't divide by zero. attention!" but after reading the second term ("1!") he wonders: "hey-oh, you *can* divide by one!! what's this?!" and after thinking a long time about the problem he comes to the real meaning... ;-) really, it's true!!! M__________________________________________________________________________ From: Ian Ellis <[email protected]> Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules. Mathematics is a game with rules and no objectives. M__________________________________________________________________________ Zenophobia: the irrational fear of convergent sequences. M__________________________________________________________________________ From: Michael A. Stueben ([email protected]) Michael is a high school math/C.S. teacher, so he should know. Q:What do you get when you add 2 apples to 3 apples? A:Answer: An American senior high school math problem. From: John <[email protected]> Q. Where did the answer, "six puppies", come from? A. The math teacher for these students.

  • Count Down: Six Kids Vie for Glory at the World's Toughest Math
    Count Down Six Kids Vie for Glory | at the World's TOUGHEST MATH COMPETITION STEVE OLSON author of MAPPING HUMAN HISTORY, National Book Award finalist $Z4- 00 ACH SUMMER SIX MATH WHIZZES selected from nearly a half million EAmerican teens compete against the world's best problem solvers at the Interna• tional Mathematical Olympiad. Steve Olson, whose Mapping Human History was a Na• tional Book Award finalist, follows the members of a U.S. team from their intense tryouts to the Olympiad's nail-biting final rounds to discover not only what drives these extraordinary kids but what makes them both unique and typical. In the process he provides fascinating insights into the creative process, human intelligence and learning, and the nature of genius. Brilliant, but defying all the math-nerd stereotypes, these athletes of the mind want to excel at whatever piques their cu• riosity, and they are curious about almost everything — music, games, politics, sports, literature. One team member is ardent about water polo and creative writing. An• other plays four musical instruments. For fun and entertainment during breaks, the Olympians invent games of mind-boggling difficulty. Though driven by the glory of winning this ultimate math contest, in many ways these kids are not so different from other teenagers, finding pure joy in indulging their personal passions. Beyond the Olympiad, Steve Olson sheds light on such questions as why Americans feel so queasy about math, why so few girls compete in the subject, and whether or not talent is innate. Inside the cavernous gym where the competition takes place, Count Down reveals a fascinating subculture and its engaging, driven inhabitants.

  • The Development of Film Criticism in South Africa in the 1920S and 1930S
    9820 ASM Film Critisism in CT.FH11 Mon Apr 11 11:18:57 2005 Page 1 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K This book examines the development of film criticism in Cape Towns daily press from 1928 to 1930, using film reviews from the newspapers the Cape Times and Die Burger. The character of film criticism in the period under discussion is explained by describing the general function of film criticism as well as comparing the local with the international film press. The basis for the comparative analysis is a list of films screened in three selected cinemas in Cape Town. Part of the analysis is an empirical study to examine the quantitative development of film reviews and a qualitative part, analyzing the content of selected film reviews. This book demonstrates that newspapers are the most valuable source for research concerning early South African film history. The existing standard reference, Thelma Gutsches The History and Social Significance of Motion Pictures in South Africa 1895-1940 can be fruitfully complemented by using Afrikaans newspapers, as well as Hans Rompels book Die Bioskoop in Diens van die Volk and other writings by this influential Afrikaner film critic. Michael Eckardt (*1974) studied Cultural, Media and Communication Studies in Weimar (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Durban and Stellenbosch (South Africa), gaining a degree in Cultural- and Media Studies from Bauhaus-University Weimar (Diplomkulturwissenschaftler) and graduated as Master of Philosophy (Journalism) at Stellenbosch University. His PhD-project aims to investigate the reception of Weimar Republic cinema in South Africa in the period 1928-1933. Michael Eckardt is a visiting scholar at Stellenbosch and Goettingen University.

The two's complement of an N-bit number is defined as the complement with respect to 2N, in other words the result of subtracting the number from 2N. This is also equivalent to taking the ones' complement and then adding one, since the sum of a number and its ones' complement is all 1 bits. The two's complement of a number behaves like the negative of the original number in most arithmetic, and positive and negative numbers can coexist in a natural way. In two's-complement representation, negative numbers are represented by the two's complement of their absolute value;[1] in general, negation (reversing the sign) is performed by taking the two's complement. This system is the most common method of representing signed integers on computers.[2] An N-bit two's-complement numeral system can represent every integer in the range −(2N − 1) to +(2N − 1 − 1) while ones' complement can only represent integers in the range −(2N − 1 − 1) to +(2N − 1 − 1).

  • Omega: Chaitin's Demon
    From SIAM News, Volume 39, Number 1, January/February 2006 Omega: Chaitin’s Demon Meta Math!: The Quest for Omega. By Gregory Chaitin, Pantheon Books, New York, 2005, 240 pages, $26.00. Problem: Name a book that combines mathematical history, philosophy, more than a whiff of theology, personal palaver, and brilliant insights, along with evidence of a Borges-like imagination, eyebrow-raising mathematical constructions, breathtaking excitement, grandiose ruminations, and some bosh. Solution: The book under review. This solution may not be unique, but with the addition of a side condition—that the book be a guide for readers seeking to learn where the oracular mathematical demon Omega resides—we certainly have uniqueness. We live in an age when some of our most brilliant scientists and mathematicians want to go beyond the confines of their disciplines as cur- rently pursued and create something revolutionary: one super-transcendental step for mankind, something meta, and, with an eye on sales, something sensational. Some years ago Gregory Chaitin, one of the stars at the IBM T.J. BOOK REVIEW Watson Research Center, defined a real number (or, more precisely, a construction, because a specific number Ω By Philip J. Davis emerges only after a Turing machine and an encoding have been arbitrarily selected) that he dubbed . Definition: Ω is the probability that a random program on a universal Turing machine will halt under the probability distribu- tion that a program of length k has probability 2 –k. In its ambiguity, Ω is something like the god Jupiter—now a swan, now a bull, depending on the opportunities available.
