-
"Really good proofs are hard to find," Tom said rigorously.
-
"Numbers change back and forth from positive to negative when multiplied repeatedly by -1", Tom said resignedly.
-
"(x2 + y2 - 2ax)2 = 4a2(x2 + y2),
where y > 0", Tom said half-heartedly.

-
"1.111111...," said Tom repeatedly.
-
"Minus one," Tom said negatively.
-
"What's the square root of minus one?" Tom imagined.
-
"Dodecahedron, cube and tetrahedron," said Tom,
regularly and solidly.
-
"Thirty degrees," Tom remarked acutely.
-
"One hundred degrees," Tom said obtusely.
-
"Ninety degrees," Tom said rightly.
-
"Eighty degrees and ten degrees," Tom said complimentarily.
-
"Everyone stand in line by age!" Tom ordered.
-
"Rate times time," said Tom as he distanced himself.
-
"It has to be the set of all points the same distance
from a point, just because it is," Tom argued circularly.
-
"When I have insomnia, I just start counting,
1,2,3,..." said Tom, sheepishly.
-
"I've just traced the perimeter," said Tom, somewhat
circuitously.
-
"N-factorial," Tom answered emphatically.
-
"y=mx+b," said Tom obliquely.
-
"1/x," Tom reciprocated.
-
"If n > 1, then there is always at least one prime p
such that n < p <2n," Tom postulated.
-
"2.718281828459045," Tom said, naturally.
-
"That's not a parabola, it's a catenary," said Tom, unfocused.
-
"-log[H+] > 7" Tom said bitterly.
-
"This has no height and no width," Tom said, pointedly.
-
"There is only one of these," Tom said, uniquely.
-
"There are properties of all numbers," Tom said, theoretically.
-
"If you take smaller and smaller steps and look at the
result, you reach a limit," Tom calculated.
-
"1,1,2,3,5,8,..." said Tom, seriously.
-
"Who's David Pleacher?" puzzled Tom.

"See, it's on coordinates (3,4)," pointed Tom.
Below are some mathematical Tom Swifties sent in by Tyler Windham:
-
"The measure of the angle is 90 degrees," Tom said rightly.
-
"Angle one plus angle two = 180," Tom supplemented.
-
"x times x = x squared," Tom said exponentially.
-
"x = x," Tom said reflexively.
