Storm Bay Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 A spin off of math in the movies. Walt Kelly, who did Pogo, sometimes included math. In Impollutable Pogo there are several sections with math in it. It's even funnier if you grew up doing New Math or are familiar with that. Are there any others out there?

Caroline Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Not funny, but there is a great calculus book written manga style. I think there is also a stats one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Look at the Jacobs math books. He has math comics from Pogo, B.C., Hilda (I think- the one with the witch). He may have others too but those are the ones I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Do you know the title? It's at school. I'll look it up tomorrow and get back to you. My manga-loving student thought it was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have others too but those are the ones I remember. Right, I'd forgotten all about that. Dd, 15, found Jacobs boring & I sold it. Too bad, because since then we've amassed about 5 Algebra 1 texts. I'll have to see if they have it at the library. Since I remember when my schools switched to New Math (not when it first came out, since I'm not that old) I particularly like the bats doing Algebra in Impollutable Pogo (plus, I like his humour, although he's not always being funny, of course.)

Dana Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 There are a LOT of Foxtrot cartoons with math (I love the one with Peter taking a physics test... "Doodlers shouldn't take physics."). Calvin and Hobbes had quite a few as well. Early one with Hobbes under the desk and Calvin asking "Psst... 7 + 2... " and Hobbes telling him "72". :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2009/01/25/ Thanks. Not only did I like that, but my eldest dd got a good laugh from it, too. ETA I've been told to write that my dd groaned when she saw dd & learned what it stands for.

Caroline Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Do you know the title? It is The Manga Guide to Calculus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 It is The Manga Guide to Calculus. Thanks. I'm going to look for this, even though dd wants to do this at the ps because she can do it on her own along with LoF Calculus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
