Change My Fraction: The Pi Day Revolution

The mathematical tragedy where 60.6% of people think -3² = 9 instead of -9. Order of operations isn't a popularity contest, folks. This is why peer review exists – to save us from ourselves. In mathematics, the negative sign applies after the exponent, so -3² means -(3²) = -(9) = -9. But hey, at least democracy works great for choosing pizza toppings... just not for evaluating mathematical expressions.

Mathematical humor at its finest! The title "Σ = (1 2 3)" is a brilliant play on permutation notation in group theory. In math, this represents a cycle where 1 goes to 2, 2 goes to 3, and 3 goes back to 1. Looking at the image, we see a prom photo with a white-suited gentleman surrounded by three women in similar dresses, creating a perfect human representation of this mathematical cycle. It's what happens when math majors organize their prom dates. The professor who approved this arrangement definitely deserves tenure for applied mathematics in social situations.

When boredom reaches critical mass, even cats start differentiating polynomials! Five days into quarantine and engineering students have successfully converted their pets into calculus enthusiasts. The cat's expression clearly says, "I have no idea what a derivative is, but I'm pretty sure my human has lost their mind." Next week: teaching quantum mechanics to goldfish because why not? The pandemic really proved that if you stare at equations long enough, everything starts looking like a potential study buddy.

That moment when your math exam presents you with an integral that looks like it was written by someone having a seizure on their keyboard! The multiple choice answers are all over the place (66, 12, 48, 76), but your calculator says 14. So naturally, you just pick the closest answer and pray to the math gods! Because clearly, if your calculator says 14, then 12 must be right... nervous laughter . Nothing says "confidence in mathematics" quite like choosing an answer based on vibes rather than actual computation!

The math nerd's version of "Netflix and chill" has arrived! Nothing says romance like waking your partner up to show them Desmos can now visualize complex numbers. "Honey, look! I can finally plot i on a graph!" is apparently the new pickup line that absolutely no one asked for. That imaginary unit is finally visible, just like this person's chances of not sleeping alone tomorrow night. Complex numbers might be able to exist in multiple dimensions, but this relationship is about to exist only in memory.

The eternal alliance of math and physics students united by their mutual disdain for memorizing endless organic compounds and biological taxonomies! Nothing brings rivals together faster than a common enemy. While these equation-lovers might argue over whether pure math or applied physics is superior, they'll instantly bond over their shared trauma of balancing chemical equations and drawing cellular structures. It's like the scientific version of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" — except the enemy is just having to learn the Krebs cycle for the fifth time.
