after saads disaster thread i was inspired by your math jokes so here is a place to display some academic jokes.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.

Generally saying the limit equals infinity is seen as the same as saying it does not exist.

No, it means as you get closer to the value in question, the function gets larger and larger, i.e. the value approaches infinity. lim x->0 1/x^2 = infinity because while 1/0 doesn't exist, as you get close to it you get a huge number.

But he's right. It is a limit you have to consider from both sides, since if it's - then it goes to -inf and if it's positive it goes to +inf. But it's a joke ;)

FAQ's:
1. Will I get in? See: electronicinfo.ca for Ontario schools. If you have a couple percent above the marks there and it's not looking at supplementary, the answer is almost certainly yes.
2. Anything else: Google it before asking.

haha, ur very quick to notice that; i didnt notice it until u actually pointed it out.

Don't drink and derrive.

What economists say during Valentine's Day:

10. YOU RAISE MY INTEREST RATE THIRTY BASIS POINTS WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING DROPOFF IN CONSUMER ENTHUSIASM
9. DESPITE A DECADE OF INFLATION, I STILL DIG YOUR SUPPLY CURVE
8. WHAT DO YOU SAY WE REMEASURE OUR CROSS-ELASTICITY
7. YOU BRING THE BUTTER, I'LL BRING THE GUN
6. LET'S RAISE HOUSING STARTS TOGETHER
5. FURTHER STIMULUS COULD RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED EXPANSION
4. TELL ME WHETHER MY EXPECTATIONS ARE RATIONAL
3. LET'S ASSUME A RITZY HOTEL ROOM AND A BOTTLE OF DOM
2. YOU STOKE THE ANIMAL SPIRITS OF MY MARKET
1. A LOAF OF BREAD, A JUG OF WINE, AND THOU BESIDE ME WATCHING RUKEYSER

Q: How many Chicago School economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. If the light bulb needed changing the market would have already done it.

Q: How many neo-classical economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: It depends on the wage rate.

Q: How many Wharton MBAs does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, if you hire me. I can actually change the light bulb by myself. As you can see from my resume, I've had extensive experience changing light bulbs in my previous positions. I've also been named to the Wharton Light Bulb list, and am presently a teaching assistant for Light Bulb Management 666. My only weakness is that I'm compulsive about changing light bulbs in my spare time.

During the waning days of communism in the Soviet Union, an inspector was encharged with visiting local poultry farmers and inquiring about the amount of feed they were giving their chickens. Central planning was still in effect and each farmer was allocated 15 Roubles to spend on chicken feed.
One farmer very honestly answered that he spent five of the allocated 15 Roubles on chicken feed. The inspector took this to mean that the thieving farmer pocketed the other ten and promptly had him imprisoned.
Hearing of this through the rumour mill, the next farmer down the road insisted that he spent all 15 Roubles on food for the chickens. The inspector saw this as a case of budget-padding and the farmer as a wasteful opportunist. He too was imprisoned.
The third farmer heard of both episodes and was more prepared for the inspector's arrival.
"How many of the 15 Roubles do you actually spend on chicken feed," asked the inspector.
Like a true nascent capitalist, the farmer threw his hands in the air and answered, "hey! I give 15 Roubles to the chickens. They can eat whatever they want!"

What does being an engineer have to do with it?

One person makes a mistake and suddenly it's the entire engineering world's burden to bear?

Though I must admit, for being as highly marked a student as karla seems to be, I found that rather curious.

Jeez, you're really sniping lately.

It's a fairly basic thing to have the wrong idea about, if you've taken calculus courses, therefore I find it a bit odd.
