A Joke

What do you put on a Fractal sandwich?

Groan.

what do you get when you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber?

Nothing! You can't cross a vector with a scalar!)

I just watched a show about Mandelbrot and fractals *last night*. That's
quite a coincidence! (Well, maybe not - did you also just watch that show?)
It was on "Nova", a one-hour science program on public TV.

LOL!!

On the other hand, a vector and a scalar can be multiplied, can't they?
The product is another vector. (Reaching back over the years, trying to
remember...) So I guess that means that when a mountain climber and a
mosquito have children together, they produce more mosquitoes?

I've seen it before and IIRC, David Gilmour from Pink Floyd was playing the
music for the show, 'if' that was the same one. I love fractals, you can
really get lost in them I used to have a fractal screensaver,

I'm kind of clueless when it comes to 'real' math, however,
even though my late Dad was a math teacher at the
same High School when I was there. "That' was fun...not.
High School 1960-63..boy that was light years ago

A prime cut.

In the context of vectors, "cross" means to compute a cross product
between two 2D vectors in three space (and no scalars). Look up "cross
product" for more detail.

Hey Kyla, you started this...........! As my Bob used to say, if you can't
run with the Big Dogs, stay on the porch. You can sit beside me.

But you can multiply a matrix by a scalar, can't you? That's not the
same as a cross product. You just multiply each element in the matrix
by the scalar, so that each element of the resulting matrix contains
the product of the corresponding element in the original matrix and
the scalar. At least that's what I remember from linear algebra, which
I studied 28 years ago.

So, although you can't *cross* a mountain climber with a mosquito, they
can multiply.
