I Hate Anything Above 180+ Degrees

Nothing triggers mathematical PTSD quite like these abominations. Let's break down this parade of horrors: • That natural log with the subscript e is redundant torture - it's like saying "ATM machine" but for people who actually passed calculus • The square root of 2 with that tiny 2 on top? Pure sadism. Is it the square root or not? Make up your mind! • Sin⁻¹(x) looking like a reciprocal when it's actually the inverse function. Thirty years teaching and I still have to remind students it's not 1/sin(x) • And that x² = x×x monstrosity... I've failed students for less. Probably why my course evaluations are terrible. No wonder mathematicians drink.

The eternal academic turf war continues! Mathematicians have been fighting for centuries to convince everyone they're not scientists while simultaneously enjoying all the perks of being in the science faculty. It's like claiming you're vegan while sneaking bacon bits into your salad. The truth? Math is the language science speaks, not science itself. But try telling that to university administrators who'd rather organize departments by building space than philosophical distinctions. Pure mathematicians are still recovering from the emotional damage of being associated with people who actually do experiments.

The topology enthusiast is having an existential meltdown because in mathematical topology, a "hole" isn't something physically dug but rather a fundamental property of space! In topology, surfaces are classified by their genus (number of holes), but these aren't actual excavations—they're abstract properties of connectedness. So technically, no hole has ever been "dug" because holes in topology exist as mathematical properties rather than physical voids. Meanwhile, the regular person is just talking about the Kola Superdeep Borehole without realizing they've triggered a mathematician's worst nightmare.

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 quadratic formula's evil twin has entered the chat! That horrifying mathematical monstrosity at the top is breaking every rule of sensible algebra. The negative under the radical? The random "ca4" term? The suspicious "a2" in the denominator? No wonder Thomas is giving it the death stare. This is the kind of equation that would make even seasoned mathematicians wake up in cold sweats. It's basically what happens when you ask ChatGPT to solve an equation after feeding it nothing but energy drinks and horror movies.

The bell curve of mathematical intelligence is the ultimate humbling experience! At both ends (the 0.1% with IQ 55 and 145), people prefer to do math with shapes and colors. Meanwhile, the average folks in the middle (the 68% with IQ around 100) are stuck grinding away with boring numbers. It's the perfect mathematical irony - the "geniuses" and those who struggle both approach math the same way, through visual and colorful representations, while everyone else is trapped in numerical purgatory. Sometimes the extremes really do meet! 🧠📊
