Haha, I also noticed that 25 can be written as 5², which absolutely amazes me with the fact that all you do is move the two. My very amazing and nerdy friend was looking at the board in math sometime before the end of school, and she noticed that it said "25 days of school left". So obviously she had to get all math-y, and move the two so it didn't say 25, it said 5². Of course, I don't think anybody else will get this, cuz my brain is operating on a different frequency right now, and it kinda worries me, and I'm used to it!

when your in college and are taking calc 3 and relize
1.) that you are the youngest in the class and one of only two freshmen in your class of about 100
2.) TA's for other classes you take are taking the calc class
3.) you play games on your phone because the work is to easy and still are one of the first to notice when the professor makes a mistake

and last but not least

4.) you find the class easy and cant wait untill next semester to take calc 4

When you spend your time in Geometry class reading a Precalc book.
When you go to a math team meet rather than your friends birthday party,
When you have all your volume settings on exponents of 2. (2,4,8,18,32,64)
When I wish I could get the phone number 2416256 (2,4,16,256 or 2, 2_²,2^₂2 ,2^₂2²)
When you teach your friends how to program the graphing calculator.
When you draw probability curves for your test grades--during the test.

-when you get aquestion wrong and everybody in your class is shocked

I know right? (Actually, this normally arises because I don't listen to a single word the teacher says)

@phil Exactly!

When you read somewhere that nerds are gonna take over the world...and totally agree. Mainly because you know that if that ever happens, you'll be on the winning side [a.k.a. the Nerds].

You might be a math nerd when in geometry class you hear about laws of congruency for triangles with the Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule, the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) rule, and the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) rules, and are very disappointed that there is not an Angle-Side-Side rule.

You're definitely a math nerd when this fact disappoints you so much that you come up with a "proof" of the Angle-Side-Side rule that stumps the rest of your class.



You might be a math nerd if you try to solve math/logic puzzles on BrainDen.

You're most probably a math nerd if you post your own math/logic puzzles on BrainDen.

You're definitely a math nerd if you post a puzzle that no one has tried to answer for nearly a week now.

[MissKitten]

When you actually read plasmid's proof, and try to find the flaw [and then fail ].

When in math, you are more concerned with trying to steal your classmate's stuffed cow than you are with actually reviewing for your big test next week.

[harvey45]

When you ask your physics teacher if the graders will still count it if you use calculus on the trig-based AP test.
When by the end of the first month of school you're considering taking both the trig and calc-based tests.
When you spend your free time proving that the 3 kinematics equations are all related using calculus.
