Ever had a math professor who made you want to throw your calculator across the room? These four mathematical notations are exactly why! 😂
Top left: The division symbol (÷) that mysteriously disappears after elementary school, replaced by the forward slash that makes fractions look like rejected emoticons.
Top right: The lowercase "y" that transforms from an innocent letter into the bane of your existence when your teacher says "find y."
Bottom left: The fraction with parentheses a/b(c+d) - is that (a/b)(c+d) or a/(b(c+d))? Nobody knows! It's like mathematical Russian roulette!
Bottom right: The square root of a sum √(a+b) that always makes you question if you should simplify inside first or just accept that some problems, like your understanding of calculus, have no elegant solution.
These four horsemen will continue riding through textbooks, terrorizing students for generations to come!
