Math is Dirty!

How Mathematicians do it:

• Algebraists do it in a ring, in fields, in groups.
• Analysts do it continuously and smoothly.
• Combinatorists do it as many ways as they can.
• Complex analysts do it between the sheets.
• Computer scientists do it depth-first.
• Cosmologists do it in the first three minutes.
• Galois theorists do it in a field.
• Geometers do it symmetrically.
• Graph theorists do it in four colors.
• Hilbert spacers do it orthogonally.
• Linear programmers do it with nearest neighbors.
• Logicians do it by choice, consistently and completely.
• (Logicians do it) or [not (logicians do it)].
• Mathematical physicists understand the theory of how to do it, but have difficulty obtaining practical results.
• Pure mathematicians do it rigorously.
• Quantum physicists can either know how fast they do it, or where they do it, but not both.
• Real analysts do it almost everywhere.
• Statisticians probably do it.
• Topologists do it openly, in multiply connected domains
• Cantor did it diagonally.
• Fermat tried to do it in the margin, but couldn’t fit it in.
• Galois did it the night before.
• Mobius always does it on the same side.
• Markov does it in chains.
• Newton did it standing on the shoulders of giants.
• Turing did it but couldn’t decide if he’d finished.
• When Cauchy did it, the distance became less than epsilon.
• Godel did it but incompletely.
