The Eternal Mathematical Cage Fight

Content 28. You are at a club, doing calculus, when no one understands what you are doing, so you go home depressed, eat a half gallon of ice-cream, and wash it down with a fifth of vodka. You then realise you have no ice-cream, go to the store, and buy 20 pints. You now have a tub of ice cream containing 20 pints. However, you now also have a tub of ice cream with a unique property. The rate at which it melts is not only proportional to the temperature difference between the ice cream and the room temperature but also inversely proportional to the cube of the volume of the remaining ice cream. The differential equation describing the melting process is given by = - k(I- 25, where V is the volume of ice cream in pints, tis time in minutes. T is the temperature of the ice cream in degrees Celsius, and k is a positive constant. The initial temperature of the ice cream is 18°C, and the initial volume is 25 pints. After 5 minutes, the volume of the ice cream has decreased to 20 pints. Determine the the value of the constant k. 1562⠝ • 1539 • 1526 • 1549¼ © 15698/ V (5) =26 SV3 dU = - 5 k (+ -251/(V3)) 1 E 4 (284 = - KS (+ 14 +25) +C 5 = 15625

The path to unemployment has never been so theoretically elegant! Physics majors think they're solving the universe while math majors are proving theorems nobody asked for—both tunneling straight into joblessness with remarkable precision. Meanwhile, the cow represents biology majors who actually found jobs because they studied something practical. The real superiority complex? Thinking your ability to calculate in 11 dimensions will impress an HR manager who just wants someone who can use Excel without crashing the system.

Every calculus student's fever dream! The post claims to have found the mythical "chain rule for integration" - which is basically like claiming you've spotted Bigfoot riding a unicorn. Integration by parts, substitution, partial fractions... we have those. But a simple chain rule for integration? That's why the meme shows someone clutching "the sacred texts" - because such a discovery would be the mathematical equivalent of finding the Holy Grail. Mathematicians have been crying into their coffee for centuries because the reverse chain rule isn't as elegant as its differentiation counterpart. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you're still hunting for this mathematical unicorn, you might as well search for a proof that P=NP while you're at it.

The optical illusion that breaks physicists' brains at 3 AM! This is basically Schrödinger's cube – simultaneously existing in two states until you decide which interpretation to observe. Your brain is desperately trying to construct a 3D model from 2D information, flipping between "cube with missing corner" and "two separate cubes" perspectives. It's the geometric equivalent of that dress that nobody could agree on the color of, except this one makes mathematicians cry into their coffee. The real question isn't what you see – it's whether reality exists independent of observation. *adjusts glasses dramatically*

The perfect physics pun doesn't exi— Oh wait, it does! In calculus, the derivative of position is velocity, the derivative of velocity is acceleration, and yes, the derivative of acceleration is called "jerk." She's not insulting him—she's continuing the mathematical sequence! That poor guy missed his chance to impress with his knowledge of higher-order derivatives. Next up would've been "snap," followed by "crackle," and then "pop" (seriously, those are the actual terms). Dating a physicist means you're never safe from spontaneous differential equations at 2 AM.
