It Never Outdates: The Immortal Math Textbook

Factorial of zero equals one: the mathematical statement that makes both programmers and mathematicians look up with equal disdain. While programmers have to code special cases for it, mathematicians must explain why multiplying zero factors somehow equals one instead of zero. Meanwhile, the monstrous factorial function looms over them both, delighting in their shared suffering. The empty product is watching... always watching.

Walking past "Interest in Science" like she doesn't exist, but stopping dead in your tracks for "Math"? Classic academic betrayal! The irony is delicious - trying to separate math from science is like trying to separate peanut butter from a PB&J sandwich. Math isn't just a science, it's the language science speaks. Without math, physics is just philosophy with cooler explosions. Next thing you'll tell me is that you love water but hate H₂O!

George Dantzig: *shows up late to class* "Hmm, these problems on the board must be homework." *casually copies them down* *later solves what turned out to be two UNSOLVABLE statistics problems* The entire mathematics community: *surprised Pikachu face* Talk about a mathematical mic drop! This legend accidentally revolutionized statistics because he didn't know the problems were impossible. Sometimes ignorance truly is mathematical bliss! Next time your professor says "this can't be solved," just channel your inner Dantzig and say "challenge accepted!"

Behold the ultimate mathematical shitpost! This collection of deliberately wrong math statements would make any mathematician cry tears of blood. From the blasphemous "π = e = 3" (both transcendental numbers reduced to an integer!) to the small angle approximation sin(x) ≈ x being presented as an equality. The division by zero, claiming 0.999... ≠ 1, and that absurd i² + 1² = 0² would make Euler roll in his grave faster than a quantum particle. The "proof is trivial" and "won't fit in the margins" references perfectly capture that professor who skips steps and leaves students confused. It's mathematical chaos theory visualized - except there's no underlying order, just pure mathematical anarchy!

Nothing says "trade war" like weaponizing economics with suspiciously precise formulas. That equation for calculating reciprocal tariffs looks like someone tried to mathematically justify why your avocados now cost $7. The elasticity is "near 2 in the long run" - much like my patience for economic policy papers that use Greek letters to sound smarter. They really set the price elasticity at 4 when real evidence suggests 2, which is basically the academic equivalent of doubling your recipe's spice measurements because you "feel like it might need more."

Prime numbers looking at that weird composite 57 like it's trying to crash their exclusive club. The prime gang (13, 29, 37, 41, 53) huddled together in mathematical superiority while 57 shows up with excessive baggage (3×19). That's the mathematical equivalent of trying to sneak into a Nobel Prize ceremony with a fake mustache and borrowed credentials. Prime numbers: the ultimate mathematical gatekeepers.
