Determinant Memes

Winnie the Pooh just leveled up from basic to fancy with Euler's identity! The top panel shows the standard form of Euler's formula that connects complex exponentials to trigonometric functions. But the bottom panel? That's where Pooh puts on a tuxedo and expresses the SAME equation as a determinant of a matrix! It's like saying "why use simple math when you can flex with linear algebra?" This is peak mathematician humor—taking something elegant and making it unnecessarily sophisticated just because you can. The mathematical flex nobody asked for but everyone with a math degree secretly loves.
