Calculation error Memes

The irony of declaring "man i love linear algebra" while staring at a screen that says "That's incorrect" is the mathematical equivalent of a bad breakup. One digit off in a matrix and suddenly your relationship with eigenvalues is on the rocks. Nothing says "mathematically challenged" quite like spending three hours on a problem only to be betrayed by a 16 that should've been a 17. The computer doesn't care about your feelings or the fact that you've been awake for 36 hours surviving on energy drinks and despair.

That tiny minus sign sitting there, watching you solve an entire problem with perfect execution, only to sabotage your final answer. The mathematical equivalent of a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a hurricane in your calculations. One microscopic symbol gleefully ruins your day while your professor just sits there like "show your work" as if that helps when the error happened before you even picked up the pencil.
