Mathematicians don't just decorate trees, they derive equations for optimal light strand usage. That formula represents the parametric equation for a helix around a cone and the total arc length needed. Normal people: "I'll just buy three boxes and return what I don't use." Physicists: "Hold my eggnog while I calculate the exact hyperbolic sine function required for perfect illumination distribution." This is why mathematicians are still untangling lights from 2017.
