An economist, an engineer and a logician are on a train that crosses the border into Scotland.

The first thing they see is a black sheep walking in the same direction as the train.

The economist says 'Ah! All the sheep in Scotland are black!'

The engineer says 'Actually, we can only say that at least one of the sheep in Scotland is black.'.

The logician says 'Or to be absolutely precise, there is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black on at least one side!'.

The Indian Contribution to mathematics is 'ZERO'!

How happy the School Boys would be if Pythagoras were never born on this earth!

Naked Archimedis is said to have run around jumping with joy crying 'Eureka', 'Eureka' on discovering the law of floating!

Here is the funny story in his life:

"Eureka is an exclamation used as an interjection to celebrate a discovery. It is most famously attributed to Archimedes; he reportedly uttered the word when, while bathing, he suddenly understood that the volume of an irregular object could be calculated by finding the volume of water displaced when the object was submerged in water. After making this discovery, he is said to have leapt out of his bathtub and run through the streets of Syracuse naked. Archimedes' insight led to the solution of a problem that had been asked of him by Hiero of Syracuse, on how to assess the purity of an irregular golden crown: by dividing the object's weight by its volume"

Zero has no value except its place value!

Zero is nothing; it is indivisible & non-multipliable!

But it is an additive Identity.

'Zero interest', 'Zero Tolerance' are worthy terms.

Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because seven eight nine.

The ark lands after The Flood. Noah lets all the animals out. Says, "Go and multiply." Several months pass. Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes. "What's the problem?" says Noah. "Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes. Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?" "Certainly", say the snakes. "We're adders, and we need logs to multiply."

Q. Did you hear the one about the statistician?

A drunk man is trying to make his way home.

A passer-by sees him bump into a lamppost, stagger away, stumble towards it again, hit it, stagger, and so on. Then after hitting the lamppost several times, the drunk slumps down on the pavement and bursts into floods of tears.

"My dear man, whatever is the matter?" says the passerby to him. "Why are you so sad?"

The drunk replies in despair "I'm walled in! Walled in!"

(Mathematically, you have to be a topologist to see why this is funny.)

This is how I remember the area formula of a circle:

So a student comes home one day and his father asked him about his day. Well the student said that "pie are square." His father was puzzled and told him that pies are circular.
