The Square Root Of Madness
Engineers round it up to 2 because "close enough for the bridge to probably stay up." Statisticians approximate it to 1.7 because decimals are just suggestions. Physicists calculate it to 1.73205 and still worry they missed something. But mathematicians? They're sitting there with a maniacal grin because √3 doesn't need to be anything else. It's a perfect, irrational beauty existing exactly as it is. No approximations. No compromises. Just pure, undiluted mathematical truth that makes them giggle with deranged joy. It's like watching someone fall in love with an abstract concept while everyone else is just trying to get practical results!
