All My Homies Reduce To Maclaurin
The mathematical gangsters have spoken! The Taylor series might look fancy with its arbitrary center point c , but real ones know the Maclaurin series is just Taylor centered at zero. It's like showing up to a party with your complicated friend who insists on giving directions from some random landmark instead of just saying "start from downtown." Pure mathematicians spend hours proving they're different, while applied mathematicians just substitute c =0 and get on with their lives. Next time someone tries to impress you with Taylor series, just hit 'em with "cool story, but my homies reduce to Maclaurin."

The F ∘ G Is Coming
Function composition (f ∘ g) is coming for your mathematical sanity! This brilliant wordplay turns "the fog is coming" horror meme into a calculus nightmare. For the uninitiated, f ∘ g means "f composed with g" - where you take function g, apply it first, then feed that result into function f. It's basically mathematical nesting dolls that make students question their life choices at 2AM before exams. The repetition in the title? That's just the trauma echoing in your brain after trying to solve these problems.

The Constant Of Regret

The Constant Of Regret
That moment of pure mathematical horror when you realize your integral solution is fundamentally wrong! In calculus, forgetting the "+C" (constant of integration) is the classic rookie mistake that haunts even seasoned mathematicians. The constant represents all possible antiderivatives of a function, and without it, your solution only captures one specific case instead of the infinite family of curves. It's like building an entire proof only to realize you've left out the foundation. No wonder there's a full existential crisis happening—those lost points on the exam aren't coming back!

I Am Studying Calculus And This Is Deep
Behold the epic saga of trigonometric derivatives portrayed through the rise and fall of civilization! The top shows a mighty empire (like the derivative chain rule itself) where -cos(x) creates sin(x). Then we witness the mathematical circle of life continuing through each era - functions deriving functions in an eternal mathematical dance! The gradual descent into chaos perfectly mirrors how students feel when they realize these functions keep transforming into each other for eternity. It's the mathematical version of "what goes around comes around" but with more homework and existential dread!

Topological Definition Is Much Better

Topological Definition Is Much Better
Welcome to the three stages of mathematical trauma! First, you get the kindergarten definition: "draw without lifting your pen" (so simple a 5-year-old could understand it). Then BAM! The epsilon-delta nightmare hits you like a truck full of abstract symbols. Just when your brain is melting, topology swoops in with its fancy "inverse image of open sets" definition and suddenly you're begging to go back to the previous horror you were complaining about! It's like mathematical Stockholm syndrome—you start defending your previous captor! 🤓 This is why mathematicians make terrible therapists—they think escalating trauma is a valid teaching strategy!

Calc III: Where Calculus Meets Geometry And Physics
That innocent smile is the face of pure evil. Calc III looks all cute until you realize it's actually a mathematical octopus with tentacles reaching into every corner of your sanity. "Oh, you mastered derivatives? That's adorable. Now let's do them in 17 dimensions while riding a vector field upside down." The way it casually surrounds itself with Green's theorem, curl, divergence, and Stokes' theorem like they're just casual friends and not the nightmare fuel that made grown engineering students cry in bathroom stalls. It's basically the mathematical equivalent of saying "This isn't even my final form!"

The Three Inevitable Stages Of Engineering Life
The engineering life cycle distilled to its purest form! First, you're born (congratulations on existing). Then comes the existential crisis of somehow surviving calculus—that magical mathematical gauntlet where integrals and derivatives haunt your dreams and you question every life choice. And finally, there's death, which feels suspiciously similar to debugging code at 2 AM or trying to explain to non-engineers why your bridge design needs that much structural redundancy. The beautiful simplicity of reducing a complex engineering career into "birth → calculus trauma → death" is just *chef's kiss*. Engineers don't need middle stages like "career satisfaction" or "work-life balance"—those are merely theoretical concepts, much like frictionless surfaces!

The Four Stages Of Derivative Enlightenment
The evolution of a calculus student's brain is a beautiful thing to witness. First, you're just a confused skeleton asking what a derivative even is. Then your neurons light up a bit when you learn it measures slope. Your brain gets positively radiant when you realize it's actually a rate of change. But that final transcendent moment when you grasp it's a linear transformation? That's when you've achieved math nirvana and can finally look down upon mere mortals who still think calculus is just about finding the slope of curvy lines. The four stages of derivative enlightenment: confusion, recognition, understanding, and finally, becoming insufferable at parties.

A Bit Mean? More Like A Bit Terrifying!
Revenge is a dish best served with parabolas! This student decided to transform their math homework into a horror show by drawing a terrifying creature next to the function graphs. The quadratic function f(x) = x(1-x) is getting the creepy treatment it never asked for. The creature even personally greets the teacher with "Hello Joel" - making this less about finding the correct graph and more about finding the courage to grade this paper. That's one way to make calculus truly frightening!

The Most Legit Looking Math Textbooks
Finally, math textbooks that make calculus look appealing! Turns out the secret formula wasn't y = mx + b, it was just putting attractive people on the cover. The probability of students actually opening these books just increased exponentially. Statistics suddenly seems fascinating, integrals become intriguing, and data science looks downright sexy. Who knew math could be so... derivative? The only integration happening here is between marketing and mathematics—and it's working!

Is This Legal?
The mathematical outlaw strikes again! This speed limit sign shows "1 Q (e+π)" which equals approximately 5.86, but our daring cyclist is cruising at a measly "1" mph. For those who slept through calculus, that fancy notation is the limit of (e+π) as Q approaches 1. Technically, our cyclist is following the law since they're under the limit, but they're also being a massive nerd about it. Nothing says "I have a math degree and nowhere to use it" quite like interpreting traffic signs through calculus. The police officer who pulls you over will be so confused they might just give you a ticket for excessive cleverness.

L'Hôpital's Rule: Gotta Solve 'Em All
Nothing strikes fear into a calculus student's heart quite like those dreaded indeterminate forms: 0/0 or ∞/∞. Just when you think you're doomed, L'Hôpital swoops in like Ash Ketchum throwing a mathematical Poké Ball. "I choose you, derivatives!" And suddenly, what seemed impossible becomes manageable. The rule transforms a calculus nightmare into something you can actually solve—like capturing a wild limit that was previously too powerful to tame. Every math major has that moment of reaching for L'Hôpital's Rule with the same desperate energy as Ash reaching for his last hope in a Pokémon battle.
