The mathematical chaos that unfolds when a mathematician dates an engineer is pure comedy gold! Our protagonist commits the cardinal sin of using "j" instead of "i" for imaginary numbers (electrical engineers' notation vs mathematicians') and skipping leading zeros in probability.

But the real relationship test? Having a mathematical epiphany about integral notation during a hike. The mathematician realizes that if dx is an operator and integration is associative, then placement of dx shouldn't matter - a perfectly logical conclusion that apparently ruins date night.

Engineers want things done the conventional way, mathematicians want to explore theoretical possibilities. This relationship was doomed from the start... or should I say, from the end of the integral.
