Ten Commanments of Math

Ten Commandments for Mathematics

1. You shall read your problems.

2. Whatever you do to one side of your equation, Do also to the other side.
3. You must use your "Common Sense", or else you will have flagpoles 9,000 feet in height, and ... even fathers younger than their sons.
4. You shall ignore the teachings of false prophets to do work in your head.
5. When you do not know something, you shall look it up, and if your search is not successful, Then you shall ask the all-knowing teacher.
6. You shall master each step before putting your heavy foot down on the next.
7. Your correct answer does not prove that you have worked your problem correctly. This argument will convince no one, least of all, your teacher.
8. You shall first see that you have copied your problem correctly before bearing false witness that the answer book lies.
9. You shall look back even to your youth and remember your arithmetic.
10. You shall learn, speak, write, and listen correctly in the language of mathematics, and surely A's and B's shall follow you even to graduation.

Math Riddles

Why should you never mention the number 288 in front of anyone?

Because it is too gross (2 x 144 - two gross).  Which weighs more?  A pound of iron or a pound of feathers? Both weigh the same. How is the moon like a dollar? They both have 4 quarters.  It happens once in a minute, twice in a week, and once in a year. What is it? The letter 'e'. How can half of 12 be 7? Cut XII into two halves horizontally. You get VII on the top half.  Credits to: http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/math-riddles.html  

Another set of math trivia...

1.The billionth digit of Pi is 9.
2. 1 and 2 are the only numbers where they are the values of the numbers of factors they have.
3.The largest known prime number (so far) is 12,978,189 digits long.
4. The digits to the right of the Pi's (3.141...) decimal point can keep going forever, and there is no pattern to these digits at all.

Math Trivia....

Here are some Math trivia from http://www.sciensational.com/maths.html:

1. The implicit curve equation (x²+y²-1)³-x²y³=0 produces the heart shape.
2.  The term Googol (10¹⁰⁰, ie, 10 followed by 100 zeros) was invented by a 9-year old boy Milton Sirotta.
3. The Reuleaux Triangle is a shape of constant width other than a circle.
4. The Fibonacci sequence are numbers where each following number is the sum of the previous two:

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 ..

5. A dollar can be made into small change in 293 ways.
6. You can remember the value of Pi (3.1415926) by counting each word's letters in "May I have a large container of coffee?"
7. 1089 multiplied by 9 gives an exact reverse: 9801.
8. From 0 to 1000, the letter "A" only appears in 1000 ("one thousand").
9. 2 is called the "oddest" Even-Prime number. 2 is a unique Even-Prime because while all Evens are divisible by 2, any number apart from 2 that is divisible by 2, is not a Prime.
10.40 when written "forty" is the only number with letters in alphabetical order, while "one" is the only one with letters in reverse order.
11. The "Google" website name was inspired by "Googol".
12. Pi (3.14159...) is a number that cannot be written as a fraction.
13.
