Differentiation vs. Integration: A Mathematical Horror Story

Differentiation vs. Integration: A Mathematical Horror Story
The math trauma is REAL! This flowchart perfectly captures why calculus students everywhere develop eye twitches when facing integration problems. On the left, differentiation is this beautiful, straightforward process. Apply a rule, check if you're done, and boom—problem solved! It's like following a recipe where you actually have all the ingredients. But integration? That right panel is pure mathematical chaos! You start with good intentions, trying integration by parts or substitution, but quickly spiral into a nightmare of question marks, obscure theorems, and eventually "WHAT THE HECK IS A BESSEL FUNCTION??" before reaching the final solution: phone a mathematician or "BURN THE EVIDENCE" of your failed attempts. No wonder they say integration is an art—it's like trying to paint a masterpiece while blindfolded and spinning in circles! And sometimes the only way out is Mathematica or destroying all proof you ever attempted the problem in the first place.

The "Official" Canadian Measurement System

The "Official" Canadian Measurement System
The perfect flowchart for Canada's commitment to measurement indecision. Speed? Metric. Your height? Imperial. Cooking temperature? Fahrenheit. Pool temperature? Celsius. Distance to work? Kilometers. Distance to that place you're visiting? "About 2 hours away." This is what happens when you share a border with the only major country still using imperial measurements but technically adopted the metric system in the 1970s. Scientists call this phenomenon "systematic measurement schizophrenia" and it's terminal, I'm afraid.

Gay Test Courtesy Of Math

Gay Test Courtesy Of Math
When mathematicians design sexuality tests, they cut straight to the logical core! This flowchart brilliantly reduces sexual orientation to a simple equality comparison: if x (your gender) equals y (gender you're attracted to), then congratulations—you've mathematically proven yourself gay! The elegance of this algorithm would make computer scientists weep with joy. It's Boolean logic meets human sexuality in the most gloriously reductive way possible. Who needs complex psychological assessments when you can solve for gay with a single conditional statement?

Engineers aren't just problem-solvers—they're caffeine-powered sarcasm generators! The flowchart nails the engineering lifecycle with brutal honesty: feed an engineer problems and coffee, and out comes solutions... with a complimentary side dish of sarcasm that nobody ordered. The "side effect" label is particularly brilliant because, like any good engineering documentation, it acknowledges the unintended outputs that management pretends don't exist. Every engineer knows that caffeine-to-code conversion rate is directly proportional to the amount of deadpan commentary produced along the way.

The Forbidden Cookbook

The Forbidden Cookbook
Ever seen a chemistry professor's nightmare fuel? This chaotic flow chart is basically what happens when you let the lab students create their own recipes without supervision. From "nitrokoolcerin" to "plutonium shavings," this diagram perfectly captures that moment when someone mistakes their chemistry textbook for a cookbook. The transition from ketchup and mayo to nitroglycerin is especially smooth - because who hasn't accidentally made explosives while trying to make a sandwich? My favorite part is how "airport jungle juice" appears to be the final boss of beverages. Chemistry departments should probably frame this as a "what NOT to do" guide!

The Brutally Honest STEM Major Flowchart

This flowchart is what happens when career counselors have a mental breakdown. Engineering? Only if you're "good with things." Chemistry? Congratulations on your future as a "fussy pedant." And let's not forget Computer Science, perfect for those who prefer "slow, indirect evil" over the more efficient varieties. The beautiful part is how it nails the existential crisis of every STEM student. "Why do you want to major in a STEM field?" Options include "curiosity" (adorable), "to save the planet" (delusional), or my personal favorite, the dawning realization that STEM was supposed to involve actual plants for Biology majors. After 30 years of teaching, I can confirm this is approximately 87% accurate. The missing 13% is the path where you choose your major based on which department has the least uncomfortable chairs in the lecture hall.

Differentiation vs. Integration: A Tale Of Two Mathematical Realities

Differentiation vs. Integration: A Tale Of Two Mathematical Realities
The calculus betrayal is real! Left side shows differentiation as this beautiful, organized flowchart where you just apply some rules and—boom—you're done. Meanwhile, integration is this chaotic nightmare maze that eventually leads to "BURN THE EVIDENCE" and desperate "PHONE CALLS TO MATHEMATICIANS." Every math student knows this pain. Differentiation: "Here's your answer, have a nice day!" Integration: "What's a Bessel function? Should I install Mathematica? Is this partial fractions or some Riemann voodoo?" No wonder we all tried working backwards from the multiple choice answers on exams! Pro tip: if your integration strategy includes "burn the evidence," you're doing authentic mathematics.
