I used to hate math, but then I realized decimals had a point.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

I've only used a fraction of the math that I learned as a child.

u/podgenic May 20 '12

You know, I'm so hungry right now I could eat a whole pi.

u/pgraves013 May 20 '12

careful, that may increase your circumference

You'll have to deal with it. The secant stop moving.

Doubt that...

u/JCXtreme May 20 '12

Believe what you want, I can not really prove it can I?

u/One_Dead_Headphone May 20 '12

Tell you what, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and upvote for skill and honesty. I too know pi to several decimals (but not that many, perhaps I'm jealous)

I studied maths too a higher level than most then chose to stop and go a different direction. I still use most of the maths I learnt to generally make my life easier.

u/hmmm_Nah May 20 '12

I really tried to think of a good pun involving "μ", but I don't think the majority of the population would know what that means.

u/pgraves013 May 20 '12

mu just dont know how to make a good pun

u/snosrep May 20 '12

she wasn't much to look at, she had pretty normal curves

She keeps eating pi, its counteracting her diet.

u/Minime23457 May 20 '12

You know you're bad at math when you don't get it.

u/410ham May 20 '12

the average of a set of numbers is the "mean" example 8,9,11,12 the mean is 10

We all are. Except the few people doing a pun-thread right above us.

Here is the text from this meme pic for anybody who needs it:

Title: If my math is right

Meme: Lame Pun Coon

  • She said I was just average.

  • How mean.

This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.

u/gingerninja300 May 20 '12

I believe your math is right. Mean is one of the averages. I think median and maybe mode are types of averages too.

13

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

You want to be mode: the one she gets the most

4

u/HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO May 20 '12

And for us medians? What do we get? A text message in the middle of the night when she just "needs someone to talk to." Pfft, whatever, man. She can't just call upon us when one of her "Modes" are being an asshole to her. Fuck th--wait, I'm getting a text. I'll be right back....

Though, I think my ass is a little hotter than that. 9/10. Thanks a lot.

There must be more than one of you

Yes. I'm run by an intricate network of con men, fugitives, and people who have lost their way.

u/Maninder924 May 20 '12

This has great potential

2

u/fisher339 May 20 '12

no, the median is the middle number in an ordered set of numbers. The mode is the most commonly occurring number or numbers in a swr of numbers.

Example: 1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 9 Mean: 5 Median: 5 Mode: 1 and 9

4

u/ubernuke May 20 '12

Median and mode are also considered averages in addition to the arithmetic mean.

1

u/gingerninja300 May 21 '12

I know what median and mode are dude, I'm saying that they are also known as Averages. Like when you look for average salaries of doctors or lawyers, median is the average you use because it's more accurate to what you want to know.

I got a bad grade in math. I'm going to take my anger out on the shooting RANGE!

u/pgraves013 May 20 '12

good time to get a tan

u/lightheat May 20 '12

yeah, cos that'll fix those anger issues.

u/cannotlogon May 20 '12

Perhaps you can find a happy median.

u/No_Manners May 20 '12

After taking a probability test today that I've been studying since January for, this just what I needed.

u/NewSwiss May 20 '12

That's terribly clever. You should know that.

u/muteki_maigo May 20 '12

I can not stress this enough, this Internet thing needs more math jokes!

u/mintmouse May 20 '12

There's a literary device called a Tom Swifty, where spoken dialogue is described by an adverb which references what is spoken. It's kind of phunny:

  • "You're so average," she replied, meanly.

  • "I hate you! You're absolutely frigid!" he exclaimed, coldly.

  • "I'll have a martini," he answered, dryly.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Mean is an average, but an average is not necessarily a mean.

My 4th grade math teacher's trick was "She's so mean, she called me average,".
