javasaurusA joke from the math-major student speaker at my sister's graduation ceremony yesterday:
A mathematician jumps abourd a bus full of functions. He threatens the functions, "I'm going to integrate you! I'm going to differentiate you!" the functions quake with fear, and go running off the bus. All except one, who stays there, calmly defiant. The mathematician stares at the little function. "Didn't you hear me? I'm going to integrate you! I'm going to differentiate you!" But the remaining function was unperturbed. "Why aren't you afraid of me? What function are you?" The little function replied, "I am e to the x!"
EDIT:
The speaker closed her comments with, "May you always find a delta for your epsilon."
