There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Summary Sentence: Club Math presents Mathematics of Futurama

Full Summary: The animated TV series Futurama has a wide range of scientific jokes embedded into the scripts, physics, mathematics, and biology.

The animated TV series Futurama has a wide range of scientific jokes embedded into the scripts, physics, mathematics, and biology. Some of these are immediately obvious, some are (wonderfully) obscure. We illustrate a few of the mathematical jokes with stills and outtakes from some of the shows.
