Psychology Guys Just Don't Get It, Do They?

Ever notice how math people get weirdly territorial about their symbols? The psychology student innocently questions why π appears in a Gaussian distribution formula, and the math student responds with the academic equivalent of "you wouldn't get it."

The irony is delicious. While explaining where π comes from (that beautiful Laplace integral), the meme perfectly demonstrates the communication gap between disciplines. Math folks are too busy admiring the elegant connection between exponential functions and π to realize they sound like pretentious calculators.

For the record, π shows up everywhere in mathematics because the universe has a bizarre obsession with circles. Not because your IQ needs to meet a minimum requirement.
