Mathematical elitism Memes

The mathematical hierarchy according to Reddit! At the bottom, we have the peasants with their "high school calculus" and the blasphemous "π=3" approximation (mathematicians just felt a disturbance in the force). Meanwhile, the enlightened few venture into the promised lands of topology and "real analysis" – as if the rest of us were doing fake analysis all along. Nothing screams mathematical superiority quite like a meme that simultaneously gatekeeps and validates your four years of theoretical math torture. The derivative of e^x equals e^x? Revolutionary stuff! Next you'll tell me water is wet and academic publishing is a functional system.

The exclusive club for numbers with more than one digit has some serious gatekeeping issues! Poor little 8 getting bullied by 67,502 for being a "dumb digit" is mathematical discrimination at its finest. The bouncer numbers aren't even being subtle about it—they've got actual velvet ropes to keep the single digits out! This is basically what happens when you let numbers develop a superiority complex. The way 9,136 is all "It's them" with that judgmental side-eye? Pure numerical elitism. Meanwhile, infinity (∞) sneaks in despite technically not being a number at all—talk about privilege! The math hierarchy is brutal, folks.
