Edition 2 of the “engineer, physician and mathematician” joke.
An engineer
, a physician 🧪and a mathematician
stayed in a hotel 
.
When the engineer spotted a fire
outside his door 
, he threw a bucketful of water 
at it and it went out.
When the physician spotted a fire, he calculated 🧮 and extinguished the fire with the least amount of energy and water .
When the mathematician spotted the fire, he looked around, saw a tap and a bucket, thought 
for a moment and exclaimed: “Oh, I have a solution!” And went back to his room.Suggestion credit:

:@RZ923 I prefer the ending: "The mathematician notices a fire extinguisher. Satisfied that a solution exists, he goes back to sleep."

@RZ923 haha lol
-
@RZ923 Do you mean "a solution"?
-
@divinedolphin yep, thanks for correcting

A farmer needs to build a fence around his cattle. He hires an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to figure out what's the smallest fence that would contain all the cows.
The engineer thinks for a moment, and says "You should build a square fence!"
The physicist thinks, and says "Actually, a circle is the most efficient solution, since it is the shape with the smallest perimeter-to-area ratio! Build a circular fence around your cows."
The mathematician thinks for a bit, and comes up with an even better solution! He builds a small, tight fence around himself, and declares "I am on the outside of this fence."

@da parasite Hello, you seem to be new here!

Why was the obtuse angle upset?
Because it was never right.
Why was the acute angle NOT upset when it wasn’t right?
Because people thought that it is a-cute angle.

@CoherentMango yes i am!

@Da-Parasite So am I

The easiest person to go as for Halloween is Prof. Loh. All you need is a collared shirt and glasses, and it's not that you're not dressing up as someone, you're dressing up a professional mathematician.

:@CoherentMango how do you boil water with a circle?
you put the water in the circle! its 360 degrees (assuming celcius cuz then it would be hotter)!Lol 212 degrees in Fahrenheit is boiling so it still works. It's just Kelvin that goes up to 373.15 degrees just a tad more.

This joke is credited to Unknown Monkey, who asked it at the Ask Math Anything live stream today.

and Christmas?

@debbie Answer: "Because OCTal 31 = DECimal 25."
The number \(31\) in base \(8\) is equal to the number \(25\) in base \(10.\)
$$ 31_8 = 25_{10} $$
This is because a "ten" would equal \(8\) instead of \(10\) in base \(8,\) so three tens would equal \(3 \times 8 = 24.\)
Add the \(1,\) and that gives you \(25!\)

That's deep, but in a math way.

Why should vegetarians
never learn maths?
Because they might encounter the Chicken McNugget
Theorem.

Why did J. Robert Oppenheimer love geometry
?
Because of Stewart’s Theorem. (A Man and His Dad Put A Bomb
in the Sink 
)

PS J. Robert Oppenheimer was the “father of atomic bomb”, I searched it on Google. -
Angry Pythagoras: “My theorem is ignored.” -
That happened to me once in a test lol -
Dear Algebra, stop asking us for your x. She's never coming back. And don't ask y.
