Λ Calculus Puns

But I reached my limit with Calculus.

That I revealed cheat notes from a calculus test from 1972

Leibneiz: I've discovered calculus(1670s) Newton: Really? Seems derivative.

A calculus professor explains an example problem to her class.

"To do this, you need to find the initial position of the object."

A confused student asks, "y?"

"y₀," says the professor.

ln(x) chats it up and has a great time, but e^x stands against a wall.

“What's the matter?” ln(x) asks e^x.

“I'm nervous about integrating,” replies e^x, shyly covering its face.

“Oh, that's simple,” ln(x) replies. “Just be yourself.”

lol calculus

It really grinds my gears when people say stick-shift is obsolete.

Most people like their music bass-boosted, but it seems like too much treble.

When an astronaut drinks tea, he takes a big space-sip.

The best electricity puns are live wires. Coppers really don’t know how to resist these in a coil. If you make enough of this type of pun you can really blow their fuses. You need to be smart about how you conduct these so you don’t overload your capacitors.

The only kind of rap I like is the wrapping paper on gifts.

Scissors always cut to the point.

Airplane puns always fly overhead. You have to be careful so you don’t stall out. Always use better judgement so you nose how to dive. When used correctly, this pun classification can really propel to infinity and beyond. However, if misused, the fall from grace is full of turbulence.

When working with electricity puns always make sure to be grounded to prevent shocking results.

Mr. Tea says, ”Don’t be a fool, stay in school!”

‘Pun’ puns don’t add up. The are starting to get negative receptions.

I’ll do algebra. I’ll even do calculus. But graphing is where I draw the line.

Plants should always rooted in the ground.

Never argue with people when they are right or nobody will be left hanging out with you.

Rocks make boulder moves. This means they are pelite and not jagged. Don’t take these puns for granite.

Cheese puns are grate because you don’t have to ask for parmesan to use them.

Eskimos have cold personality. It is an ice society, but some of their history chills my spine.

My dog died a few years ago. It was really ruff.

I am not a fan of wind turbines.

Life is like driftwood. You never know where you will float.

Christmas lights stick together. When one goes out, they all do.

Puns about communism are only funny if everyone gets them.

Rocket scientists cannot fuel around or something bad can happen.

A baker is someone who kneads to make baked goods.

I sometimes wear stripes to avoid being spotted.

Sponges are great at absorbing liquids.

Contrary to the name, relationships have nothing to do with boats.

Me: You know there’s always a guy who drives a fancy car and has sex with all the cheerleaders?

Her: Yeah?

Me: I’m the guy who taught him calculus.

We were doing calculus in our math class, and when my teacher said “differentiate the function with respect to t,” I asked her if she really does respect t. Then she told me she respects tea more than she does coffee.

I love her.

I'm an Asian and my friend and I have AP Calculus together and he sits right next to me. I had trouble with a derivative and our conversation went along the lines of:
me: I don't know how to do this derivative.
friend: Well you see, you're Asian so you're bad at deriving.
me: groan^1000 ^hot ^fiery ^suns

According to Calculus, we will get an Amazon, plus a sea.

My Calculus Professor dad joked us the other day by saying.

"There is not much difference between Judaism and Catholicism, one has wandering Jews and the other has Roman Catholics."

The whole class groaned.

My dad was talking about his college calculus class

Dad: "I could barely understand my calculus professor. He was always speaking Chinese"

Me: "Are you sure he was speaking Chinese or was it just all Greek to you?"

Everyone except my dad groaned. He was beaming with pride

Today, my friend Mia and I found out we had PreCalculus together and thus sat across from each other and began talking about our schedules while our teacher prepared the student contracts. (For reference, Mr. Waage is one of the music teachers in my school.)

Mia- "I have Waage three times in my schedule this year and two are back to back." Me- "What periods do you have him?" Mia- "0, 4th, and 5th period." Me- "Looks like you are getting maximum Waage."

Grunts and cringes ensued

Friend: I'm done with my calculus homework. I can't take anymore differentiation.

Me: Have you reached your limit?

So in my calculus class last year in math, there were these two Chinese twins. Ving, and Ling. Ving was always super cool with me. In exchange for answers (he was super smart) I would hang out with him and be his friend and stuff. After I cheated off of him and studied with him though, I did get to be his friend and we got very close.

His sister, Ling, was always uptight about school and she made sure to study, she got stressed about a B, etc. One day I was hanging out with Ving, and we started talking about names. He went off on this huge rant about how he hated his, and how he wanted to change it to something more Asian-American, like Lee. I told him that the Courthouse downtown had a form that you could fill to legally change it. He told me: "I always give you answers. If you could just drive me down to the courthouse this one time, I will never forget you. I just hate this god-forsaken Chinese name and I want to get rid of it forever."

He seemed pretty adamant about it, so I decided the best decision would be to take him. We walked out to my car, and right as I put the keys in the ignition Ling came running and tapped on the car door like a madman. I rolled it down and she started freaking out about how Ving's name had been passed down through generations and generations, but Ving didn't care. He just wanted to go down to the Courthouse and get it over with.

Ling figured that coming with would be the best idea, so if anything else came up that she would be needed for, she would be there for Ving. Honestly, I felt stuck in the middle of a family feud, so I just took her along. When we got to the Courthouse, Ving confidently walked up to the front desk and asked the receptionist if he could change his name. She gave him a little packet of paper and told him to sit down. Ling and I waited patiently while Ving filled out his info. I was watching him fill it out and I noticed he really did want to change his name to Lee.

Before he finished, though, he started tearing up. He told me he couldn't change his name. He asked the lady at the front that he couldn't do it, and she told him he would need twenty dollars to cancel the request. Ling was so relieved and happy that he changed his mind, she dug through her purse, found the money, and started to hand it to the receptionist.

It was at this moment that the most stereotypical Asian man burst through the doors. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, a visor, American flag shorts, flip flops, everything. This

"He's really good but he goes off on too many tangents."

Me: "I think tangents are pretty important to calculus, you know?"

Got my calculus professor with this one last year.

"This is interesting son. What do they call this?"

Math rock.

"Sounds more like calculus rock to me."

**This happened today.

I was in my first calculus class of the semester when my teacher says "Okay now onto example 2B", to which I replied, "....or... or not 2B".

The only person who laughed was the clearly stoned classmate who never showed up for class again after that that.

Was in my calculus class and some kid went to get drinks from the vending machine...he and back mad and said, "don't use the vending machine on the 3rd floor, it gives you warm sodas." Guys next to me says, "well duh man, heat rises..." Groans were had, I gave it a good exhale through the nostrils.

Me: "Have you ever taught calculus?" Him: "No, I haven't done calculus in 25 years." Me: "Well do you know how to derive?" Him: "Yeah but I don't like to drink and derive."

But calculus is where I reached my limit.
