The eternal battle between mathematicians and normal humans captured in one image! On the left, we have the "Fitting into society" column with π, π/2, and π/4 radians—the way mathematicians and physicists insist on measuring angles because it's "more elegant" and "natural." Meanwhile, on the right, under "Being happy," we have the blissfully simple 180°, 90°, and 45° that everyone else uses without needing to multiply by mysterious irrational numbers. This is basically the mathematical equivalent of vegans telling you about their diet at parties. Pure math people silently judging you for not appreciating the "beauty" of radians while you're just trying to remember how many degrees are in a right angle.

Pure mathematicians looking at a scenic park path: "I see angles EVERYWHERE!" Meanwhile, the rest of us just see a nice place to walk. The image shows someone who couldn't resist measuring every possible angle in the landscape (65°, 142°, 47°, 22°, 83°) and drawing geometric lines across the entire scene. Mathematicians truly live in their own parallel universe where even a relaxing stroll becomes an impromptu geometry lesson. Engineers would probably be calculating load-bearing capacities of the benches instead.

The mathematical chaos that unfolds when a mathematician dates an engineer is pure comedy gold! Our protagonist commits the cardinal sin of using "j" instead of "i" for imaginary numbers (electrical engineers' notation vs mathematicians') and skipping leading zeros in probability. But the real relationship test? Having a mathematical epiphany about integral notation during a hike. The mathematician realizes that if dx is an operator and integration is associative, then placement of dx shouldn't matter - a perfectly logical conclusion that apparently ruins date night. Engineers want things done the conventional way, mathematicians want to explore theoretical possibilities. This relationship was doomed from the start... or should I say, from the end of the integral.
