Atlas's Mathematical Burden

The mathematical Atlas holding up the entire universe with nothing but the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality! That's the mathematical equivalent of surviving on nothing but ramen noodles for four years of college. This inequality is basically the mathematical version of "work smarter, not harder" – why solve a complex integral when you can just slap this bad boy on it and call it a day? Every math major knows the sweet relief of remembering this formula during an exam when your brain has otherwise gone completely blank. The inequality essentially tells us that the dot product of two vectors can't exceed the product of their magnitudes – which is just math's fancy way of saying "you can't cheat the system, kid."
