Like my favourite high school teacher always said: The problem with math puns is that calculus jokes are derivative, trig jokes are too graphic, algebra jokes are formulaic, and arithmetic jokes are just basic.  (But I guess the occasional statistics joke is an outlier.)

However, it is important to know a few good, short jokes for every occasion – even if only the smarty pants in the room will get them. Here are 30+ math jokes guaranteed to multiply your enjoyment. Don’t worry: Unlike pi, they won’t go on forever.
