By bmonk in Breaking Up: Yes, that's why he's breaking up... read in context
By Evan in Breaking Up: For every (heart) 0, my love for you is (naked woman). read in context
By Kevin in Breaking Up: His love for her is "next to nothing"? read in context
By bmonk in Pictionary: The question is: is the crappy graphic due to Mike's hurry and professional artistic skills, or is it due to the blue fellow's hurry and professional artistic skills? read in context
By mathista in Scariest Halloween Costumes: I actually dressed up as Emmy Noether last Halloween... read in context
By MrBoughtonMath in So You're a Mathematician?: You guys missed an intro step in your High School algebra classes. You all know how to do (x+1)(x+3) Well what about (10+1)(10+3) or 13(10+1) Both of those are really simple to do. Come on guys. read in context
By George Smart in Pictionary: Excellent :) read in context
By Lisa in Breaking Up: After the dissertation you have only a job to look forward to. Get back to the comics! read in context
By Dr. House in Alex Was Having Second Thoughts: so if mailman multiplies with alex you get mom? while mom/mailman=alex and mailman+mom=jr... am i not getting a redneck joke? read in context
By Melissa in 300: Not that engineering IS suicide, engineering just makes you want to jump off a cliff sometimes haha - the major mostly, not the occupation. read in context
By Dan in Breaking Up: (I guess the preview feature is there for a reason) I love the fact that it looks a bit opposite to <3. :-) read in context

By Chinmaya in Breaking Up: She seems to be bounded by his limited love. read in context
By Brian in World Annihilation: Dear Melville, Yes it has. About a decade ago. Look it up. read in context
By Eric Towers in Breaking Up: What very nonstandard technique. read in context
By bmonk in Breaking Up: It was a limited love... read in context
By hasnohat in Breaking Up: outch... read in context
By LogicMouse in Breaking Up: Aww, BUUUUURN! read in context
By melville in World Annihilation: fermat's last theorem has not been sucessfuly proven, so this doesn't really make sense as a joke. read in context
By Supplyman in Pictionary: (I meant, graphic) read in context
By Supplyman in Pictionary: LOL I love its crappiness read in context
By lordofthenerds in A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: sry mistype above. its +infinity not -. colds, late night websurffing and math dont mix. nore does spelling. read in context
By lordofthenerds in A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: The nerd in me compells me to point out that given the logic in the proof, the following proof also becomes valid. x=.999... 10x=9.999... 10x-x=9.999... 9x=9 x=1 1=.999... 1-1=.999...-1 0=(-1/10^-infinity) 0/(-1/10^-infinity)=(-1/10^-infinity)/(-1/10^-infinity) 0=1 Given the above proof, any given value now has an infinite amount of other possible vallues. So the value of the picture is potential 1000 words or 0 words. its all in the eye of the beholder. read in context
By Andrew Stella in Breaking Up: :S Good luck on your dissertation Mike! haha read in context
By KNO3 in 300: No way. Frictionless mathematicians in a vacuum are great! read in context
By bmonk in homework homework homework: No more "ABD" degree??? :-( read in context
By shit in A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: I suggest watching the movie "The number 23." It really dives into the issue of complex mathematical logarithms and lanthanoids. read in context
By Míquei in 300: Mathematics deals with everything as if it were simple (or the simplest it gets). That doesn't mean it never works for real models. Sometimes messy things have a pattern that leads to a relatively simple formula, and sometimes simple things don't even have a formula. Anyway, that doesn't make engeneering great (it is great, but not because mathematicians are frictionless in the vacuum). read in context
By Alison in Freddy Doesn't Like Smelly Pigeons: Technically the pigeonhole principle doesn't say FREDDY has to bunk up, just that SOMEBODY does. Freddy could still get his own coop! read in context
By LogicMouse in 300: Yes, but they're COMPLETELY impossible to model without them! :-) read in context
By KNO3 in 300: Or not. read in context
By (x, why?) in 300: Well, as long as we're talking about other "300" themed comics anway, this was my 300th comic: http://mrburkemath.blogspot.com/2009/06/300.html read in context
By another engineer in 300: Yeah, but I think the point is that real systems are so messy that they are almost impossible to actually model with closed form mathematical equations. read in context
By Sara in Wanna Multiply With Me: Do you honestly think it wasn't -.-? read in context
By hamstap85 in Math Camp: but then it no longer stays :/ read in context
By hamstap85 in I really really love lie algebras!: the book is a lie... read in context
By hamstap85 in A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: well, they could argue about ripping each of those in half...while the comic would be 'ripped in half', and the limit of the total number of words exchanged would taper - as the comic becomes 0 in size - to 1000! it's proven! read in context
By hamstap85 in Monkeys: so, there's either an infinite amount of monkeys jumping, or there's a queue that goes back through time... read in context
By hamstap85 in Geeky: oh, screw you guys. we could effing SIMULATE that shit!!! (erm, granted some applied mathematics of course...) read in context
By hamstap85 in Geeky: yay! sammich! you know, i came up with a catch for sudo...you have to get his password before you can give it to him :) read in context
By Gary in 300: Typical engineering misrepresentation; "frictionless vacuums" don't appear in mathematics, they are part of physics. read in context
By Paul in homework homework homework: Congratulations on finishing you dissertation Mike! Keep up the comics. read in context
By Engineer in 300: Mathematicians make shit up to prove theoretical situations. Engineers apply mathematics to test real situations. The testing part comes in because math doesn't work for everything and not everything is accounted for. We don't live in frictionless vacumes :) read in context
By tanuj in 300: Engineering is suicide? i must strongly disagree. Engineering is more like "myeh..i got tired of mathematically proving that the system is stable. HEY! let's just implement it and see what can we blow up." read in context
By bmonk in married: She's a keeper! read in context
By Supplyman in married: Hahahaha NIIICCCCCCCEEEE! read in context
By Supplyman in homework homework homework: Yes! I've experienced this kind of ... stuff a lot lol read in context
By Melissa in 300: I totally had a comic like this first. http://pics.livejournal.com/comicprodigy/pic/0001gz96/ read in context
By hamstap85 in Sex Proofs: is the function integral to survival? i think so :D read in context
