Mathematics According to The Simpsons

Even when the math is incorrect the Simpson family and friends can be useful in demonstrating mathematical concepts. The site is based on a 15 minute presentation made at the 2001 Mathematical Association of America Mathfest. Various examples of math principles being presented by the Simpson characters (both correct and incorrect) are available from Mathematical Content from the Simpsons site. Math teachers can probably get some good lesson plan ideas from this.
