Question:  prove all odd numbers are prime.

Mathematician:  1 is prime ,  3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, ....
		11 is prime, so is 13 and therefore, by induction, all
		odd numbers are prime.  QeD.

Physicist:	1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 ....
		11 is prime, 13 is prime, .... all odd numbers are 
		prime, 9 is just experimental error.

Engineer:	1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is
		is a good approximation, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, ....
		therefore, all odd numbers are prime.

Question: what is 2 + 2 ?

Engineer: 	runs to the nearest vax .... comes back after a second
		or two and blurts, "the answer is 4.000000000 E+0"

Mathematician:  ponders the question for a while and states with
		bravado, "the answer is the summation as n goes from 0
		to infinity of (3/4) raised to the nth power"

Accountant:	looks around warily and whispers, "what do you want it
		to be....?"
