Mathematical accuracy Memes

Behold the mathematical horror story in four panels! This is what happens when you get too aggressive with Taylor series approximations. With each term Homer drops from the sine function's infinite series, he slowly disappears into the hedge of mathematical inaccuracy! By the time he's reduced the glorious sine function to just "sin(x) = x", he's practically vanished into the mathematical void! It's the calculus equivalent of saying "eh, close enough" and then watching reality collapse around you. Every math professor just felt a disturbance in the force.
