You might be a mathie if...
Here are few in the style of Jeff Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck if..'' only applied to 'mathies'; You can find more in a similar vein (with some possible overlap) at http://www.mathmo.org/test/mathmotest.html.

* You have ever tried to explain to someone what a Möbius strip is.
* You have ever tried to explain the Gödel incompleteness theorem to someone.
* You know how to correctly pronounce the 'ö' in Möbius and Gödel.
* You have ever the answered the question "Do have the correct time?" with "Yes."
* You have ever constructed a model of a platonic solid.
* You have ever solved a problem in calculus before taking it in college.
* You have ever solved a problem in calculus after taking it in college.
* You wince every time you hear The Scarecrow attempt to state the Pythagorean theorem.
* You know the difference between a parameter and a perimeter.
* You have strong opinions as to whether i = √-1.
* You have strong opinions as to whether the Axion of Choice should be an axiom.
* You know an approximation to pi that is closer than 22/7.
* You remember the quadratic formula but not your own phone number.
