The mathematical truth that breaks brains! When you write A+B and B+A, they're identical thanks to the commutative property. But write them together as AB and BA? Suddenly they're complete strangers. Matrix multiplication laughs at your intuition. This is why students stare blankly when professors say "obviously" during linear algebra lectures. Thirty years teaching and I still chuckle when someone discovers multiplication isn't always commutative. Welcome to math - where the rules change just when you think you understand them.
