Who wants to think about math in the summer? Those of us who don’t have to study or pass tests, thats who! Its amazing how you can get over hating something when its no longer a threat to you. I never hated math, but I considered it a chore. Now I consider it another subject for humor. And if you were wondering where studying algebra got you, it makes these jokes somewhat understandable, and maybe even funny!

Perpetual Ocean is featuring a gallery called Eros ex Mathematica. The images in this room are created entirely from mathematical algorithms. If you find them offensive in any way, all I can say is that beauty (or obscenity) is in this case most certainly in the eye of the beholder.

A Math Romance

They integrated from the very point of origin. Her curves were continuous, and even though he was odd, he was a real number. The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair. From then on it was a continuous function. They were both in their prime, so in next to no time they were horizontal and parallel. She was awed by the magnitude of his perpendicular line, and he was amazed by her conical projections.

"Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum. He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude of his simple harmonic motion. They underwent multiple rotations of their axes, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit.

After that they slept like logs. Later she found him taking a right-handed limit, that was a problem, because it was an improper form. He meanwhile had realized that she was irrational, not to mention square. She approached her ex, so they diverged.

Top Ten Things That Math and Sex Have in Common

10. Explicit discussions of either topic is a faux pas at most cocktail parties.

9. Historically, men have been in control, but there are now efforts to get women more involved.

8. There are many joint results.

7. Both are prominent on college campuses, and are usually practiced indoors.

6. Most people wish they knew more about both subjects.

5. Both involve long and hard problems, and can produce interesting topology and geometry.

4. Both merit undivided attention, but mathematicians are prone to think about one while doing the other.

3. Saint Augustine was hostile to both, and Alan Turing took an unusual approach to both.

2. Both typically begin with a lot of hard work and end with a great but brief reward.

1. Professionals are generally viewed with suspicion, and most do not earn high pay.

Top Ten Math Major Pick-Up Lines

10. You fascinate me more than the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

9. Since distance equals velocity times time, let's let velocity or time approach infinity, because I want to go all the way with you.

8. My love for you is like a concave up function because it is always increasing.

7. Let's convert our potential energy to kinetic energy.

6. Wanna come back to my room....and see my 733mhz Pentium?

5. You and I would add up better than a Riemann sum.

4. Your body has the nicest arc length I've ever seen.

3. I wish I was your derivative because then I would be tangent to your curves.

2. I hope you know set theory because I want to intersect you and union you.

1. Would you like to see my log?
