Mathematical Fame: A Century Of Footnotes

The scientific battlefield just got laser-intense! While normal people argue about miles vs. kilometers, scientists are waging war with their order-of-operations acronyms. BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction), PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction), and PEDOPRES (apparently someone's chaotic math cousin) are literally the same thing with different names. It's like watching nerds with lightsabers fighting over which Star Wars trilogy is best when they're essentially all about space wizards. Next up: physicists dueling over whether to write Planck's constant as h or ħ. The struggle is real.

Physics has never been this... bouncy ! Someone's turned the humble differential equation into a breast physics calculator! 🤓 This masterpiece applies the classic spring-mass-damper equation (typically used for oscillatory systems) to calculate breast jiggle physics. The equation models how tissue responds to force—with acceleration, velocity, and displacement terms all accounted for! The pièce de résistance? Using the ellipsoid volume formula (4/3πabc) to calculate breast mass from dimensions. Pure mathematical genius applied to... unconventional problems! Who said differential equations couldn't be fun?

The mathematical truth bomb we all need! The giant book labeled "x in algebra" perfectly captures how this mysterious variable dominates our math lives, while the tiny pamphlet for "words that start with x in the dictionary" is basically a mathematical haiku. No wonder x became the universal unknown - the English language barely uses it! Next time your teacher asks "solve for x," just remind them there weren't many other options. Xylophone and X-ray can only carry so much weight in this world!

When calculus students daydream, pure genius emerges! This drawing shows a function with hands raised in surrender at its lowest point (0,0) labeled "ABSOLUTE MINIMA." It's basically a function hitting rock bottom and going "I give up, this is as low as I can go!" The perfect visual pun for when your GPA and motivation reach their own absolute minimum during finals week. Mathematical humor at its finest—where else can you make a function literally throw its hands up in despair?

The mathematical pun is strong with this one! Someone created the perfect right triangle with sides labeled 'e', 'π', and '√21'. Why is this brilliant? Because the Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, a² + b² = c². And guess what happens when you square e (~2.718) and π (~3.14)? You get approximately 7.39 and 9.87, which sum to about 17.26. And √21 squared? Exactly 21! The numbers don't perfectly match up (17.26 vs 21), but it's close enough to make mathematicians simultaneously chuckle and twitch. The creator knew exactly what they were doing with this mathematical near-miss!

Nothing ignites internet warfare quite like an ambiguous math expression! The equation "1+1×0" has spawned a bell curve of intelligence where both the lowest and highest IQ individuals confidently declare "It's 0!" while the average folks insist "It's 1!" This is the perfect illustration of the horseshoe theory of mathematical understanding—where people who never learned order of operations and people who overthink simple problems somehow reach the same wrong conclusion. Meanwhile, the 34% in the middle who remember PEMDAS from 5th grade are smugly correct but insufferably pedantic about it. And thus mathematics, which should be the most objective discipline, continues to cause more online bloodshed than politics and religion combined.
