Escape Memes

When life gets complicated, Brian takes the mathematician's escape route! Instead of facing his problems, he literally rockets away using a Taylor series expansion - the mathematical equivalent of saying "I'll deal with this... approximately." For the uninitiated, Taylor approximation is a method that simplifies complex functions by using their derivatives at a specific point. It's like telling someone you'll be there "around 5-ish" instead of calculating exact travel time with traffic variables. Brian's not just avoiding the conversation - he's doing it with mathematical elegance! The final panel shows he literally transformed into the equation and soared away. Who needs emotional intelligence when you can reduce messy reality into a neat polynomial? Pure genius for avoiding awkward talks!
