What Being In A Grad Math Program Is Like

The mathematical hierarchy has spoken! Tau enjoyers think they're so cool with their fancy "2π is more natural" argument, until they meet the r/mathmemes crowd. But everyone gets absolutely demolished by engineers who just want practical solutions. And at the top of the food chain? The absolute madlads using variables like "t" or "s" instead of "x" in calculus. The AUDACITY! 😂 It's like watching different species of math nerds in their natural habitat, fighting for dominance while the calculus rebels sit back with smug superiority.

Someone circled "3.14!" and wrote "Really?" next to it, because that's not how factorial notation works in mathematics. Pi (3.14159...) with an exclamation mark looks like "3.14!" which in math means "3.14 factorial" - the product of all positive integers less than or equal to 3.14. But you can't take the factorial of a non-integer! That's like asking someone to count to blue. The mathematician seeing this is probably having a minor stroke right now. It's the mathematical equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

The ultimate physicist's home decor manifesto! This brilliant sign showcases the sacred assumptions that keep theoretical physics from collapsing into chaos. From the cosmic significance of black holes to those perfectly spherical cows that populate every physics problem (because real cow shapes are just too mainstream), it's the ultimate nerd creed! The small-angle approximation (sin(x)=x) and that cheeky exponential approximation are the secret weapons physicists use to make math behave. And let's not forget the scandalous hot take on Schrödinger's cat – turns out it wasn't simultaneously alive AND dead... someone just committed felony feline homicide! 🐱⚰️

Behold! Mathematical tautology at its finest! This professor just defined a straight line as "a curve which is uncurved" — essentially saying "this thing without curvature has no curvature." It's like defining water as "liquid that's wet" or calling sleep "unconsciousness where you're not conscious." Mathematicians love these circular definitions almost as much as they love pretending that π equals exactly 3 when the calculation gets too complicated! Next up: "A circle is just a polygon with infinite sides that forgot how to have corners."

The universe just got a software update. Apparently, mathematics was running on buggy code all along. They fixed that pesky issue where π=3 (physicists have been exploiting this glitch for centuries), and finally resolved the infinite series summation that mysteriously equaled -1/12 instead of +1/12. The most controversial change? Requiring age verification for sexy primes. Those mathematicians with their "Minkowski sausage" aren't even trying to be subtle anymore. Next patch will probably nerf Fermat's Last Theorem and buff the Riemann Hypothesis.

The eternal mathematical comedy of derivatives! Tom (labeled as d/dx) is gleefully attacking Jerry (e x ), only to discover the horrifying truth - no matter how many times you differentiate the exponential function, it just keeps spitting out more copies of itself! The derivative operator is basically stuck in an infinite loop of futility against its one true nemesis. It's the mathematical equivalent of bringing a knife to a self-replicating gun fight!
