The Sum Of All Mathematical Chads

math-memes, infinite-series-memes, ramanujan-memes, pemdas-memes, order-of-operations-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The top panel shows the infamous viral math problem "6 ÷ 2(1+2) =" that breaks the internet every few years because people can't agree if it's 1 or 9 (hint: it's 9 if you follow order of operations). The "weak" response is refusing to engage with such elementary nonsense.

But the REAL mathematical gigachad bows down to the mind-bending infinite series 1+2+3+4+5+... = -1/12. This seemingly impossible result isn't just internet trolling—it's actually used in string theory and quantum field theory! Through mathematical wizardry called analytic continuation, this divergent series gets assigned this finite value. Mathematicians have been flexing this result since Ramanujan.

Basically: arguing about PEMDAS makes you a math peasant. Embracing counterintuitive infinite series makes you mathematical royalty.

Letters That Shouldn't Be Used In Math

The eternal struggle of every math professor trying to write clearly on a blackboard! These letters are the bane of our existence. Try writing a lowercase 'a' that doesn't look like a '2' after three hours of lecturing. And don't get me started on the "u and v shouldn't be used together" rule—it's like putting two identical twins in the same classroom and expecting everyone to tell them apart. This is why mathematicians develop that peculiar handwriting style that only other mathematicians can decipher. It's not pretentiousness—it's survival! And then we wonder why students think math is hard. Maybe it's because half the time they're trying to figure out if that symbol is a "z" or a "2" while we've already moved on to explaining eigenvalues.

Mathematical Immortality Trumps All

Behold the hierarchy of historical flexes! Simón Bolívar got a country (Bolivia), Queen Victoria scored an entire era (Victorian), but Euler? That mathematical madlad got the most fundamental constant in mathematics (e) AND a gazillion equations AND a whole method of solving differential equations! While others were conquering land, Euler was conquering REALITY ITSELF with his big brain energy. The ultimate flex isn't ruling people—it's when your name becomes immortalized in every physics and engineering textbook for eternity! *adjusts safety goggles while cackling maniacally*

The Complex Integration Of Dating

This is what happens when mathematicians try to flex their dating skills! The meme brilliantly disguises a profanity as the result of a complex calculus problem. Starting with intimidating complex analysis (contour integrals and residue theorems), the proof cleverly manipulates variables b , i , t , c , h , and e s to spell out a certain word. The punchline that "bitches can be integrated, but they are complex" is pure mathematical wordplay genius. It's the perfect blend of advanced math and college humor that would make even Euler snort coffee through his nose!

The Volume Of Pizza Equation

The dimensional analysis joke that would make even Euclid chuckle! "Volume of a pizza is pizza" is a brilliant mathematical pun playing on the formula for cylinder volume (πr²h). When you calculate the volume of a pizza with radius 'z' and height 'a', you get π×z×z×a = pizza! The formula works because "pi" sounds like π, "z²" gives us "zz", and "a" is just "a". It's the kind of nerdy wordplay that makes mathematicians giggle uncontrollably during otherwise boring faculty meetings.

Studying It For The 69th Time

That moment when the Schrödinger equation is simultaneously the most beautiful and most confusing thing you've ever seen. Physics students spend years staring at this quantum mechanics masterpiece, pretending to understand it while their brains quietly melt. The equation describes how quantum particles exist in multiple states until observed, which is basically how students exist in a state of both understanding and complete confusion until exam day forces a collapse into pure panic. Even after the 69th review, you're still wondering if the wave function is laughing at you personally.

The Forgotten Child Of Polynomial Approximations

The mathematical hierarchy strikes again! The meme brilliantly contrasts Taylor series (the popular, well-supported child) with Maclaurin series (the forgotten skeleton at the bottom of the pool). What's the joke? Maclaurin series are actually just Taylor series centered at zero, but they get treated like a completely different concept. It's like mathematicians created a special name for a Toyota Camry when you park it in your driveway. Pure mathematical neglect in polynomial form! Next time your calculus professor mentions Maclaurin series, pour one out for the forgotten special case that deserved better.
