That's Euler (Again)

mathematics-memes, euler-memes, laplace-memes, calculus-memes, history-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The mathematical plot thickens! Just when you're trying to master the Laplace transform (that nifty mathematical tool for solving differential equations), you discover the historical bamboozle of the century. Despite being named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, it was actually Leonhard Euler who first investigated these integrals in 1744. The shocked cat perfectly embodies that moment of mathematical betrayal when you realize Euler is basically the uncredited ghostwriter of calculus. Classic Euler, showing up everywhere in mathematics like that one friend who somehow appears in everyone's wedding photos.

New Approximation Of Pi Dropped

Someone took a red marker to this educational display and decided that π = 3.14! is the new mathematical standard. That's factorial enthusiasm right there. If we actually calculated 3.14!, we'd get approximately 8.9, which would make circles substantially more oblong. Mathematicians worldwide just felt a collective shudder. Einstein's probably rolling in his grave fast enough to generate renewable energy.

When Math Breaks Your Brain

When mathematicians discover that 2/√2 = √2, minds are absolutely blown! This seemingly simple equation triggers pure mathematical ecstasy because it demonstrates perfect rationalization of surds. It's that rare moment when algebra feels like magic - you're just moving symbols around and suddenly the universe makes sense. Next thing you know, you're pointing at equations and screaming like you've witnessed a cosmic revelation. The real kicker? This is what passes for excitement in math departments worldwide.

Calculus + Chemistry = Carbon Magic

Behold! The mathematical sorcery of turning water into carbon! This student has created a completely nonsensical equation by mixing calculus (the integral and differential) with chemistry (H₂O) to magically produce carbon. It's like trying to bake a cake with a hammer and expecting chocolate frosting! The equation makes absolutely zero scientific sense - which is precisely why it's brilliant. When your professor says "show your work" but you forgot everything except that carbon exists somewhere in the universe! 🧪➕➗=🤯

The Great Physics Identity Crisis

The greatest trick theoretical physicists ever pulled was convincing everyone they weren't just mathematicians with existential anxiety. Peek behind any elegant physics theory and you'll find a mathematician's playground of symbols that would make Schrödinger's cat simultaneously alive, dead, and questioning its career choices. No wonder the cat looks so shocked—it just discovered its entire reality is just spicy algebra .

The "Challenging" Brain Teaser That Insults Your Intelligence

Behold, the infamous "challenging brain teaser" that's about as challenging as remembering to breathe. From the equations a+a+a=3 and b+b+b=6, we get a=1 and b=2. So a b = 1 2 = 1. The answer's literally just 1. I've seen more complex problems in children's cereal boxes. This is what happens when clickbait meets elementary arithmetic and calls itself a "maths master" challenge. Next they'll ask us to solve for x in "x+1=2" and call it quantum computing.

The Crocodile Always Eats The Bigger Number

The eternal struggle of physics grad students everywhere! The "crocodile mouth" mnemonic is truly the unsung hero of theoretical physics. While you're wrestling with quantum field theory and string theory equations, your brain still defaults to elementary school tricks. Nothing says "I'm a serious scientist" like muttering "nom nom, crocodile hungry" while finalizing your groundbreaking dissertation. Einstein probably did the same thing—he just never admitted it in his memoirs.
