What An Abomination Of A Graph! Y = Tan (Tan (X^2 + Y^2))
This is what happens when math decides to have an existential crisis. The equation y = tan(tan(x² + y²)) creates this hypnotic nightmare of concentric circles and jagged discontinuities that would make even seasoned mathematicians reach for the aspirin. It's like watching a perfectly reasonable function get drunk and start making terrible life decisions. The tangent function already goes to infinity at regular intervals, but nesting them and throwing in a squared term? That's just mathematical sadism. Your graphing calculator didn't die for this. Next time you want to torture numbers, just divide by zero like a normal person.

I Came Looking For Geometry And Found Calculus
The area of an ellipse? Simple. Just π times the semi-major and semi-minor axes. Easy peasy. But the perimeter? That's where mathematics decides to punish your optimism with a horrifying integral that makes grown mathematicians weep silently into their coffee. It's like expecting to solve a basic geometry problem and suddenly finding yourself in a calculus nightmare with no escape. The mathematical equivalent of opening what you thought was the broom closet and discovering it's actually a portal to the seventh circle of hell.
