3:55 This is actually a double joke - the pi symbol here is playing on the Hebrew letter Chet (which looks somewhat similar thereto), which is why there’s a little additional piece beside it (it’s the letter Yod, which, with the letter Chet, spells the word ‘Chai’, meaning ‘life’). So, the joke is that he’s wearing a necklace that essentially reads ‘life of pi(e)’ - or, conversely, ‘pi(e) is life’. Just some ‘food for thought’ (pun intended).
One of the only math jokes I know: A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician were observing people getting in and out of a house, first they saw 3 people walk inside the house, but then 4 came out. The biologist said "They must have reproduced", the physicist said "There must be a mistake in my original prediction" and the mathematician said "The house will be empty if someone enters it" I don't remember it very well, but it was something like this.
Everyone agrees that the dog with the box on its head is more fun than the mathematical joke,😂😂😂😂 that's why I love Homer, I solved many non-linear systems of simultaneous equations in the past when I was studying the kumon method, maybe you've already heard of this method, anyway, it's always cool to review these concepts through your brilliant mind Ellie! Thank you very much, you awaken desires in me that I had already contained, but I need to bring to the surface. His pleasure in mathematics is contagious!
My two favourite maths jokes: 1) why do computer scientists get halloween and Christmas confused? Because oct 31 = dec 25 2) three mathematicians walked into a bar. The bartender asked 'will you all be having a beer?' The first mathematician said 'i don't know.' The second mathematician said 'i don't know. ' the third mathematician said 'yes.'
@@neevhingrajia3822 Actually I think I understand #1. It's saying that Computer scientists get confused because the variables are confusing. If oct 25 = dec 25, then on halloween, it is Christmas, and vice versa. As for the math one no idea
@@Spodogo Oh! I get it now! I think its referring to the octal and decimal values of 31 and 25 respectively, which I guess are equal, thus confusing the computer scientists.
3:51 that is not a Greek Π, even though it resembles it. It is a Hebrew חי. While חי means "life", its numerical value is 18 (the Yud letter י = 10 and the het letter ח = 8). Many Hebrew math games use multiples of 18, for example when giving donations to the synagogue such as " 2 times חי" meaning 18 x 2 = $36, or "10 times חי" for a $360 donation. חי is called "chai", with the "ch" like a Scottish "ch" in "loch"
hey Ellie, Nice to you. I am so motivated by watching your video. Just give me some suggestions to avoid procrastination and feeling lethargic in the afternoon.
Lisa, as I recall is in 3rd grade and Martin is in 4th grade, same as Bart. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems strange to expect 3rd and 4th grade kids to be already familiar with them intermediate algebra stuff. Maybe that's a math joke in itself. Simpson writers as I recall has a lot of math professionals in them.
No, brother. I get it that you might be in a young class, maybe 7 or 8, and is just learning about this. π is an irrational number. Which means it cannot be represented as a rational number or a fraction. 22/7 is the closest fraction to π. Because, when we represent 22/7 as a decimal, it goes like 3.1428.... and more. But the real value is 3.1415926535... like that. It is infinite and has no end.
@sh52100 I don't know why everyone says 22/7 is the closest fraction when there are infinitely many fractions that are closer. Just take a ton of digits out into pi and write that as a fraction. Like the fraction 707963/5000000 is exactly 3.1415926 which is a crazy better approximation.
@@maxhagenauer24 Yes, but do you think you can just tell kids to memorize this large number when you can just multiply with 22/7 or 3.14 and get a close approximation.
@@sh52100 22/7 is definitely better to memorize, but that wasn't my point. You said 22/7 was the BEST approximation when it's not. Maybe you meant best as in the most accurate approximation of that size of a fraction or the best approximation to memorize.
Have you visited india or not in your life i want to know about that because I am watching your vlogs from India if you really have time you can reply as soon as possible

The letter isn’t Chai, it’s actually called Chet. The Chet with the Yod is pronounced Chai which does mean life, just a minor correction 😊
@@Shaia_TeamLCE Yeah my phone autocorrected by mistake, fixed it.
Isn't life of pi a movie?
Could the 'Good seats will always be available' be a reference to Hibert's hotel?
Great question, hope this gets seen.
I thought it was just a joke that maths is boring so the auditorium will never be full. But your suggestion is cooler.
07:05 btw i think that u ignored the '-'(minus sign) in left hand side of the relation before y²
0:49:
It is true that pi is a transcendental number, and thus irrational.
But not equal to a/b only implies that something is irrational
You beat me to it by six hours, geechan.
I am very disappointed at such a basic error of terminology!
🍌🙂
you motivate me to study maths thank you so much!
keep making content
Joke: f(x) walks into a bar. Bartender says "sorry, we don't cater for functions"

At 3:58, I think that the necklace is actually the two Hebrew letters chet and yod, which spell "chai" or "life" in Hebrew.
I love this kind of videos, keep it up!
Why do programmers confuse Halloween with Christmas? Because Oct. 31 (octal 31) is the same thing as Dec. 25 (decimal 25). 😉
Who's waiting for Ellie Sleightholm x The Math Sorcerer collab?
Really enjoyable video, I think a video on a simulation solving the triangles problem would also be really interesting.
Favorite math joke (or riddle, technically):
Q: What's an anagram of Banach-Tarski?
A: Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski

This video is very interesting Very nice Ellie I like your each and every video😊
12:31 I for one, am really interested in that
Also upload the elegant solutions from olympiad!!
I enjoyed this video so much. Maybe we should try Futurama and their famous physics and nath references 😊😊😊
Thanks so much for UR VIDEOS i enjoy THEM so much PROF 👍
It also looks like the goldnecklace is hebrew for Chai, meaning 18.

My favorite MATH RUclips CHANNEL.
PLAN
(P + L)(A + N)
PA + PN + LA + LN
Your plan has been foiled
ellie you look amazing and i love to watch your videos
¿Hiciste alguna formulación matemática para la M y 3 lineas rectas?
My favorite math joke, not self-evident to the untrained: 8i = ∞ .
The question is quite cool 😎
Watching from IND
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER
@elliesleightholm what's useful aerospace engineering or aeronautical engineering?
Loved omg 😂🤩
Solve the roswell equation from bb theory if you are so clever
I enjoyed the maths joke
Also I would love to work on olypiad questions ❤
İ JUST LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT SO MUCHHİ 🥰🥰🥰 PLZ KEEP UP THE AMAZİNG WORK!
There is a missing negative on the left side of the equation for 'y'. It should read minus y squared plus 16y minus 64 equals etc etc.
How come there’s not a reference to Bart being irrational?
Or Barney.
Capitalist will say ration l. Socialist will say ration z so there is entice ?
Lisa, as I recall is in 3rd grade and Martin is in 4th grade, same as Bart. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems strange to expect 3rd and 4th grade kids to be already familiar with them intermediate algebra stuff. Maybe that's a math joke in itself.

Why not start some math fundamentals or calculus or some series ??
What do you call an annoying mathematician ? A hypoto-nuisance.
He keeps rambling about he won't change - here we go eigen.
where did all the imaginary cows go ? de'mooooiiveerrrred over there
What do you call a annoying physicist? Black hole maker. Somedays I am that person.

Pi can be fun to learn. e can be fun to learn. But to enjoy pie, i do not have to know either.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
is it me or Ellie Just look like Nancy cartwright 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😛😛😛😛😛😛
Glad to see younger generation promoting STEM and recognising Hawking's and his work.
Another math joke
Sinx=2
Have you visited india or not in your life i want to know about that because I am watching your vlogs from India if you really have time you can reply as soon as possible
