Funny math joke

A constant function and e^x are walking on Broadway. Then suddenly the constant function sees a differential operator approaching and runs away. so e to-the x follows him and asks why the hurry.
"Well, you see, there's this diff.operator coming this way, and when we meet, he'll differentiate me and nothing will be left of me...!"
"Ah," says e^x, "he won't bother ME, I'm e to-the x!" and he walks on. Of course he meets the differential operator after a short distance.
e^x : "Hi, I'm e^x"
diff.op. : "Hi, I'm d/dy"

So, little Jonny says to his father: Dad, would you do my math homework for me?
Father says: No, it wouldn't be right.
Jonny: Well, try anyway.

> could someone explain that for non-mathsy folk?
Using the quotes already provided:
> e[super]x[/super] is its own derivative, but only in respect to x
When given an equation in terms of x, one often assumes that any differential will be with respect to x (d/dx). In the story, the character e[super]x[/super] makes this assumption. Since e[super]x[/super] is its own derivative, the diff.op would have no effect. However, the diff.op met on the street is with respect to y (d/dy), not x, thus e[super]x[/super] will be differentiated into something else.
Not as funny, but cute:
How does one make a natural log cabin? Easy, simply integrate d'cabin over cabin.

There were x², 1/x, ln(x)... in a party, and e^x was alone in a corner. So e² went there and said: -Hey e^x, why don't you integrate in the party? -What for? I would stay the same. ----------------- It was Heisenberg driving down the road very fast. Then a police car approached and made him stop. Police officer: Do you know how fast were you going? Heisenberg: Nope, but I know EXACTLY where I was. ----------------- There were a physician, an engineer and a mathematician in an hotel, each in a room.
A fire started in physician's room. He took some papers, wrote down some expressions... then he took a glass of water and threw it at the fire, with the exact amount of water to put it out. Then he went to sleep.
Another fire started at engineer's. He thought for a while. Then he went to the corridor, brought the fire hose and put the fire out.
And then, another fire at mathematician's. He spent a lot of time working on papers: formulae, advanced analysis and equations. He lighted a match and let it drop in a glass of water. Then he wrote down: "It's been proven it can be done". ----------------- Why Heisenberg doesn't get laid? Because when he has the time, he doesn't know the place. ----------------- "µ" said the scientist cow. ----------------- Why do white bears dissolve in water? Because they are polar. ----------------- Wanted. Schrödinger's cat. $1,000,000 Dead AND alive.
