Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for November 07, 2016

Next, how to prove that Alexander the Great’s horse had an infinite number of legs.

Using induction …

i caramba…

Zach may win a Reuben (cartoonist award) but I don’t think he’s likely for a Fields medal (math award).

Maybe I should publish my old math homework as a cartoon, too.

Math was always Greek to me. I was just learning “Arithmetic” in grade school when they switched to “The New Math.” Got me totally confused. And from what I’ve seen, they’ve changed how they teach math again.

Well, this rates right up there with showing that 64 divided by 16 = 4 (write 64/16 and cancel the sixes) and the classic “proof” that 1 = 2 (here, for example: https://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/falseProofs/first1eq2.html)

.

For proof that pi = 3, consult the bible, 1 Kings, 7:23, or better yet, the refutation at http://evolutionblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/bible-implies-that-pi-is-three-deal.html

Are you going to retire from writing after you collect your million dollar prize from Cambridge’s Clay Mathematics Institute?

Just a little cartoon to remind me that I am “not a smart man”.

Did somebody say something about pie?

Multiply both sides by G and you get that your Grade Point is equal to the Gross National Product.

And Times Square is all evil. (But that’s an independent proof.)
