Neglecting The Higher Terms

This math meme is pure calculus comedy gold! It shows Gumball in three forms representing the same natural logarithm written different ways: First panel: Regular Gumball = ln(x) - the standard natural log notation we all know Second panel: Super Saiyan Gumball = log e (x) - same thing but with the base explicitly shown Third panel: MEGA BRAIN Gumball = log(x)/log(e) - the final boss form using the change of base formula! They're mathematically identical expressions getting progressively more unnecessarily complex. It's like meeting someone and saying "Hello" vs "Greetings, carbon-based life form, I wish to initiate verbal exchange protocols!"

This is what happens when mathematicians try to express gratitude. The message "Thank you for tiling the plane" is spelled out using actual geometric tiles—triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon—followed by polygons with increasing numbers of sides that can't actually tile a plane by themselves. It's geometry humor that only gets funnier when you realize regular pentagons physically can't tessellate. The bottom row is basically the mathematical equivalent of inviting vegans to a steakhouse. Pure geometric trolling at its finest.

The mathematical dad joke we never knew we needed! Someone claims their talent is identifying functions, gets challenged with a sigmoid curve, and responds with "yep it's definitely a function" - which is technically correct but hilariously misses the point of actually naming the specific function type. It's like having the superpower to identify that water is wet. The S-shaped sigmoid function is used everywhere from neural networks to population growth models, but our hero is just proud they can confirm it exists. Mathematical minimalism at its finest!

The exponential function e x is just vibing in its own mathematical universe! No matter what operation you throw at it—differentiate it, integrate it—it just stays e x , completely unbothered. It's the mathematical equivalent of that friend who never changes despite life's chaos. While other functions are having identity crises when differentiated, e x is just like "I'm still me, bro!" The ultimate mathematical narcissist—always returning to itself. Even calculus can't mess with its perfect mathematical zen!

The legendary Game of Life just released its hottest new glider pattern. Watch as this digital organism travels diagonally across your cellular automaton grid while maintaining its shape through generations. Mathematicians are already calculating how many energy drinks they'll need to catalog all possible interactions with other patterns. Conway would be proud... or horrified. Hard to tell with mathematicians.

The mathematical equivalent of ordering the same drink in four different languages just to show off. Three-quarters of mathematicians will nod approvingly while secretly judging which representation is superior. The fourth quadrant is conspicuously empty—just like my motivation to convert between these formats during exams. Mathematicians: creating multiple solutions to problems that didn't need solving since Pythagoras had his first identity crisis.
