Physicist Does Math...

Integration by parts is the mathematical equivalent of a recursive nightmare. You think you're making progress, then suddenly you're solving the same integral you started with. It's like a cruel joke played by calculus professors who secretly enjoy watching students descend into mathematical madness. The phrase "Ah shit, here we go again" has never been more appropriate than when you realize your clever substitution just led you back to square one. This is why mathematicians develop thousand-yard stares.

The eternal struggle of math professors trying to explain mathematical induction to confused students! First they hit you with the base case (Patrick's like "yep, easy enough"), then drop the induction step bomb where you have to prove that if it works for k, it works for k+1 (Patrick's brain visibly short-circuiting). Just when Patrick thinks he understands the concept, the professor drops the "it holds for all values of k" conclusion, and poor Patrick is left questioning reality itself. This is basically every math student's journey from confidence to existential crisis in under 5 minutes. Mathematical induction: where understanding and confusion are perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Congratulations! With an IQ of 80 and being smarter than a whopping 91 people out of 1000, you're perfectly qualified for a promising career in... statistical interpretation! 🏆 The meme brilliantly captures the mathematical tragedy of someone who doesn't realize that being in the "top 90.88%" actually means they're in the bottom 9.12% of the population. Yet they're somehow celebrating being smarter than just 91 people in a room of 1000. With these impressive credentials, might I suggest a career in creating online IQ tests? You'd fit right in with the people who designed this one! Or perhaps politics, where understanding numbers is clearly optional.

When you're desperately trying to understand factorial functions while Euler sits there casually revolutionizing mathematics with 800+ publications. The rest of us are just catching droplets of genius while drowning in problem sets. Factorial growth is no joke—it explodes faster than a freshman's confidence on the first day of Real Analysis. By the time you hit 10!, you're already at 3.6 million. Meanwhile, Euler's over there inventing notation, solving the Basel problem, and probably wondering why the rest of us need so much coffee to do basic calculus.

The mathematical operators have been deployed! While the soldiers wield their standard-issue firearms, the percent sign is clearly the comedic relief of the unit. That poor percentage symbol only deals with fractions of numbers, unlike its more powerful squadmates: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, who can transform values completely! In the mathematical hierarchy of operations, our colorful clown (%) is just hanging out at the bottom of the PEMDAS pecking order. It's like bringing a water pistol to a nuclear war—technically a weapon, but c'mon now.

Nothing captures the uselessness of pure mathematicians in a medical emergency quite like this gem. "Doctor in Mathematics" is academia's version of bringing a calculator to a gunfight. The poor mathematician's solution to subtract one from the dying count shows exactly why we keep theoretical folks locked in their offices with chalkboards. Next time you're bleeding out, maybe ask if there's a medical doctor around instead of someone who can calculate the rate at which you're dying with elegant precision.
