Math joke needs explanation

Sine divided by tangent = cosine, the abbreviation for which is cos. add in the variable and it's cos b which can be mispronounced cosby

Because spouting off random trig formulas at parties will make you so popular. ;)

You can go to parties if you know trig?

Of course. ;D

My personal favorite is doing Calculus problems when I am on an airplane. You have a person on each side of you sitting so close that they cannot help but watch what you are doing.

Them: "Wow. That looks really hard. You must be smart."
Me: "They're not hard. They're actually quite fun. I'll trade you some Calculus problems for your smoked almonds."
