Why does every university have a math department?
It's cheaper than institutionalizing them.

1
Which, of course, translates to:
Integral z-squared dz
from 1 to the square root of 3
times the cosine
of three pi over 9
equals log of the cube root of 'e'.
12 + 144 + 20 + 3 \/4 2
--------------------- + 5*11 = 9 + 0
7
which reads as:
A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared, and not a bit more.
