Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks: 'Does everyone want a drink?' The first logician says: 'I don't know.' The second logician says: 'I don't know.' The third logician says: 'Yes.'

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The 1st orders a beer. The 2nd orders half of a beer. The 3rd orders a quarter of a beer. The 4th begins to order, but the bartender cuts him off saying, "You guys need to know your limits." He puts 2 beers on the bar.

Mathematics professor Gil Strang taught 15,000 students at @MIT and thousands more online. His impact is incalculable.
He made linear algebra fun

Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar. The first says, "I'll have a beer." The second says, "I'll have half a beer." The third says, "I'll have a quarter of a beer." The bartender pulls out just two beers and says, "Come on. Know your limits."

"It is time for all members of our profession to acknowledge that mathematics is created by humans and therefore inherently carries human biases. Until this occurs, our community and our students cannot reach full potential." -CMPM #MathValues bit.ly/3l86j2p

Numbers do not discriminate, and neither should we. Mathematics is for everyone.
