Petition To Change Notation

Petition To Change Notation
The mathematical glow-up we never knew we needed! This meme perfectly captures how mathematicians feel about notation elegance. The crude "e^x" is what you scribble during your first calculus class, but "arcln(x)" is what you write when you want to impress your thesis advisor. It's basically the difference between showing up to a math conference in sweatpants versus a tuxedo—same function, dramatically different presentation. The natural exponential function has never looked so sophisticated!

When Your Parabola Has Existential Jitters

When Your Parabola Has Existential Jitters
That's not a shaky hand—that's a perfect visualization of the y = x 2 + sin(5x) function! When your math professor said "draw a parabola," you decided to add some personality with a trigonometric wiggle. It's like the mathematical equivalent of drawing outside the lines. The function is basically saying "I refuse to be confined by your quadratic expectations!" This is what happens when calculus has an identity crisis mid-graph.

Gauss, The Function

Gauss, The Function
Someone spent hours crafting a portrait of Carl Friedrich Gauss using parametric equations, only to casually admit "blatantly stolen from wolfram alpha btw." The mathematical flex is real—creating Gauss's face with the very tools he helped pioneer. It's like painting Einstein with E=mc² or drawing Darwin with evolutionary algorithms. The confession at the end is just *chef's kiss*—peak mathematician humor where the crime is admitted in the footnotes, just like how we all cite sources after "borrowing" entire theoretical frameworks.

The Calculus Of Caffeine

The Calculus Of Caffeine
Behold! The perfect illustration of mathematical derivatives using coffee! 🧪☕ This brilliantly shows the calculus concept where f(x) is the original function (coffee beans), f'(x) is the first derivative (ground coffee), and f''(x) is the second derivative (liquid coffee)! It's basically saying: "Take the derivative of coffee beans and you get grounds. Take another derivative and BOOM—you get actual coffee!" My brain runs on this stuff AND calculus simultaneously!
