The Panic Button
Top 25 Reasons Why I Like Being A Math Major
top 25
you tend to be objective. you rely on facts, not feelings. this shows a better sense of professionalism compared to those lousy E. majors.
top 24
most GENIUSES are mathematicians.
top 23
you don't know what job suits you best.
top 22
you fall asleep faster, you count the sheep twice as fast.
top 21
you get to compute imaginary numbers using imaginary solutions.
top 20
you can meet your professors on the first and last day of classes and still get a passing mark for the course.
top 19
you have a keen sense of time. we like starting our work at the last minute.
top 18
you don't need to bring a handful to school, just a pen, some paper and a calculator, and you'll do just fine.
top 17
simplicity is virtue. writers express, artists impress, math majors COMPLICATE.
top 16
there are different ways to solve mathematical problems. you can copy the answer from a seat mate, then find another solution to it, and the teacher won't even notice.
top 15
you don't need to know what you're doing as long as you're doing it right.
top 14
infinity isn't such a large number. (we know why.)
top 13
if you have similar answers, it's either you're both correct, or you're both wrong. it's usually the latter but nobody notices.
top 12
the first step to solving any mathematical problem is to PANIC.
top 11
most of your professors don't understand what they're saying.
top 10
you go to college just to find out you were mis-educated in math subjects during primary and secondary schools.
top 9
you actually know how to use a scientific calculator.
top 8
you need not be right in everything. you just need to make them BELIEVE you're right, even if you're not.
top 7
you find it easier to disprove others' work than to prove yours.
top 6
the more SCRIBBLES you have on your math exam paper, the higher the score.
top 5
people don't understand you, if you're discussing something complicated, they think you're smart.
top 4
you take up subjects you can NEVER apply at work.
top 3
you need to be able to prove that 1 > 0
top 2
you always have an excuse for DIRTY exam papers, why?
...'cause good mathematicians never work clean.
and..
top 1
you is not good on grammars. we ARE math majors after all.

Yikes. I have an quz tomorrow in Modealg (abstract algebra).
To make it all worse, I have no idea about the scope of the exam.

Once again, I will be part of those who will be the last to present their speeches. This time though, it'll be an impromptu speech.
Here's to hoping that I get a great question for my impromptu. A question where I can insert humor, and make my speech look like I'm being interviewed by Leno or Letterman.
Cheers.
