How to tell you ticked off a mathematician

Nope. 8)
But, I know they can be used to calculate areas and volumes of parabolic shapes and such. That is the extent of my recollection.

One, never combine alcohol and calculus. Never drink and derive.
Two, did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil.

You, sir, ain't right. ;)
Cakemeister:
Does the check say e to the 2*pi or e to the i*pi?
If it's e to the i*pi, then a mathematician wrote the check, not an engineer.
Mathematician: Why do engineers use j for sqrt(-1) instead of i?
Engineer: Duh! Because i stands for current!

Ahhh. Maybe change the i to c. Isn't it funny using letters to mean numbers and stuff?

And I like it that way.

The check itself most definitely says i*pi. I can't even remember how to use i and I just "learned" it last year...
