Lambert Memes

The mathematical equivalent of a bar fight. The little brother commits the cardinal sin of mathematics by calling π rational, and big bro swoops in with Lambert's proof like he's been waiting his whole life for this moment. Spoiler alert: π is transcendental, not just irrational. It can't be expressed as a fraction or as the root of any polynomial equation with rational coefficients. The ratio of circumference to diameter is an endless decimal that never repeats or terminates—much like this conversation at family gatherings.

The peak of mathematical efficiency: why waste time on rigorous proofs when you can just cite someone who already did the heavy lifting? This "proof" brilliantly reduces Lambert's complex 1761 demonstration that π is irrational to essentially "because Lambert said so." It's the mathematical equivalent of answering a question with "Google it." Next semester I'll be teaching a new course: Advanced Citation Techniques for the Mathematically Lazy.

The laziest mathematical proof in history! 😂 Instead of doing all the hard work to prove π is irrational, this mathematician just says "well, someone already proved it in 1761, so... we're done here!" It's like citing your smart friend's homework as your entire solution! Every math student's dream proof technique - "Because someone smart said so." If only my calculus professor would accept "Lambert proved it, case closed" as a valid answer on exams!
