Why is a dream stripper like the square root of -100?

Oh fuck! My mind is blown! It’s true - and yet it’s still some very wild shit!

Ace!

I get it, there are no square roots with negative #s....

High school math just kicked in.

That’s...geeky as hell. And funny to boot.

Ah just a friendly reminder that all those geometry, calculus and algebra classes in high school have been completely useless in real life. I was too stupid for trig but then again so was 97% of the student population as well.

Shailynn - not useless at all. That was a funny joke that would be lost on you if you didn't at least learn something!

I once had a math teacher who admitted most of us don't use any advanced math in life, but he said he thought the discipline of leaning math was good for growing minds and brains. That comment has stuck with me...I think we're all better off having had to at least go through algebra.

“I get it, there are no square roots with negative #s....”

Wrong. For mathematicians the square root of -1 = i

In electrical engineering the root of -1 is j

But the joke is correct. j or root of -1, is use to represent imaginary power VARs (volt amps reactive). Real power is watts. Toasters, light bulbs, electric stoves use watts. Motors require reactive power (VARs).

I’m better at stripper math than most strippers;)

Another pseudo-intellectual circle jerk brewing, and this one isn't about politics.

This one stripper became a barber.

But there are actually two square roots of -100, and they are complex conjugates.

That's the kind of joke that I used to be embarrassed to understand.

Usually you’re funny. But I am way too fucking high to understand math.

Here's one even more esoteric for those of you who know some advanced calculus (thought it doesn't have to do with strippers) A plane was flying from Warsaw to New York and it encountered turbulence. The pilot went on the intercom and asked everyone to move to the left side of the plane. Why? asked the co-pilot. The pilot answered, Everyone knows that poles in the right half-plane are unstable.

hoarker, i, also known as the square root of -1, is called an imaginary number because it isn't a "real" number, not because it doesn't exist. And yes, the equation x*x = -1 has 2 solutions, i and -i.

In quantum physics the Schrodinger Equation does yield solutions where you have to take the square root of a negative number.

Quantum physics also has something similar to the imaginary i, the Pauli Matrices. The square of each Pauli matrix is 1.

so what is negative 1 worth? (I'm confused). seems if it ain't there... it doesn't exist.

I ceased giving a shit what an imaginary number was long before many of you first crapped in your diapers.

These ideas have little meaning in normal conversation. Negative numbers have to do with points of origin and replaced by concepts like left, right; up, down, etc. Imaginary numbers are mostly significant for understanding wave forms.

Shut up

LOL

@loper - that was geeky funny (college math though not high school). and yes @jackslash's too - lol.

A couple of high school math jokes:

** Farmer Math **
A farmer counted 196 cows in the field.
But when he rounded them up, he had 200.
