Prime Numbers
Several professors were asked to solve the following problem:
"Prove that all odd integers are prime."
Mathematician:
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is not a prime --
counter-example -- claim is false.
Physicist:
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is an experimental error,
11 is a prime ...
Engineer:
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is a prime, 11 is a prime ...
Computer: 3's a prime, 5's a prime, 7's a prime ... segmentation fault
