Since math is considered a difficult subject, most people have a lot of misunderstanding of its concepts &amp; procedures. Math jokes essentially highlight these misunderstandings.

Expand (a + b)2

(a      +       b)2

Prove that 3 = 4


 * 1) a + b = c.
 * 2) Therefore 4a &minus; 3a + 4b &minus; 3b = 4c &minus; 3c
 * 3) Therefore 4a + 4b &minus; 4c = 3a + 3b &minus; 3c.
 * 4) Therefore 4(a + b &minus; c) = 3(a + b &minus; c)
 * 5) Therefore 4 = 3
