Calc 3 Memes

Even basketball royalty can't escape the wrath of vector calculus! The meme shows a complex triple integral with spherical coordinates that would make any math student weep uncontrollably. The punchline? Our basketball hero supposedly "forgot to multiply by the Jacobian" - which is basically the mathematical equivalent of showing up to the NBA Finals without shoes. For the uninitiated math mortals: when converting between coordinate systems (like Cartesian to spherical), you need this thing called a Jacobian determinant to make sure your integrals don't turn into mathematical nonsense. Forgetting it is the classic blunder that sends Calc 3 students spiraling into existential crisis mode! Next time you miss a free throw, just blame it on forgetting the Jacobian. Works every time! 🧮✨
