Math Jokes 4 Mathy Folks Kindle Edition

This is a short book of short jokes, covering a broad range of mathematical levels. For example, it starts with "Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9" and includes "What is big, gray, and has integer coefficients? An elephantine equation". It includes many old classics, but it also has many jokes I hadn't hear of. I found it very pleasant to read, and I look forward to using some of these jokes in my classes!The jokes in this book are jokes in the usual sense. For mathematically related anecdotes, Howard Eves' "In mathematical circles" series, and Steven Krantz's "Mathematical Apocrypha" and "Mathematical Apocrypha Redux" are all good. For humorous mathematical essays, there is Colin Adams' "Riot at the Calc Exam".

As a math lover, who studied as an engineer, and became a computer programmer i thought there were a lot of really funny jokes in here. There are a number of adult humor ones though so not sure i will let my kids who like math as well read it.

My brother loved this. And the section on "3 Dudes" made me laugh out loud (partly because I was engineering before I was math so the comparisons made sense). Some of the jokes were incomprehensible...possibly because they were outside my field. But I think most Math/Science folks will find enough pertinent content, regardless of their area of expertise, to tickle their funny bones.

I love "Math Jokes 4 Mathy Folks"!! These jokes are hilarious, with no profanity or vulgarity, and yet some of the joke are on the adult level. It's like a Dad joke book, where all the Dad jokes center around math terms and concepts. I cannot recommend this enough for the Dad in your family. :-)

This gift was for my son who is an Honor's Math Teacher at Central High School in Phoenix, Az.He loves it and has already found fun things to test that his students can think outside the box.Thanks for this offering. Greatly appreciated.

I bought this for my bff who teaches math. She instantly fell in love with it and uses it for brain breaks with her students.

Gave this as a gift for my mathy husband. He read some of the jokes out loud, some were funny, some corny, some I had no idea...the jokes run the gamut from basic one liners to involved stories. It seems to me that it is more for adults and older kids of the mathy persuasion.

I gave this to a former math professor. He opened it and immediately laughed at the first couple of jokes he read. He read one of the jokes to me and clearly you have to be a math enthusiast to understand the jokes in the first place. Great for someone who eats and breathes math.

It may sound sad to get your mum a mothers day gift but my mum is a maths teacher and is always telling mathematical jokes to her students, family and basically anyone who will stand and listen! This gift was perfect and has got alot of smiles out of everyone there is a range of jokes which is handy as she teaches GCSE all the way up to A-level, so even if you're not a mathematical genius you can still get a barrel of laughs out of this simple, cheap and hilarious gift!

First and last time I'm buying a book online that I know nothing about. I suggest Amazon starts posting one or two pages of the content of the books they sell. If this book is funny, it's because the jokes are so lame, they become funny. Not worth the price.

Such a good little book especially for those of us in the teaching of mathematics can lighten a class!

This is an extensive collection of mathematical jokes, mostly groan-inducing but some really good ones too.

Great jokes...

QuIte fun

funny book bought for someone else but they seemed to enjoy it

Some brilliant jokes, you need to know more mathematics as you progress through the book to understand some of the "funnies".

Bought as a gift, recipient very happy. Some very funny jokes, even if you're not a maths fanatic.

Great for those in teaching etc

Fun!

A gift for a mathematician and he loved it

punny

Not very funny.

Bought it for my boyfriends birthday - he loves all things science and maths - and he absolutely loves it! Would definitely recommend :-)
