ם Math Jokes in The Simpsons

ScienceNews Online has written up an article about math jokes in The Simpsons, including such nerdy gems as two “near miss” solutions to Fermat’s Last Theorem.

The most interesting part is that of the head writers, one has a master’s degree in computer science, one a Ph.D. in computer science, and another a Ph.D. in applied math. I guess there is hope for my math degree after all.

One last math joke that’s not mentioned in the article is the Powers of Ten couch opening, which ties in nicely with my post from yesterday.
