Modern art Memes

The calculus joke we didn't know we needed! Rolle's Theorem is actually a foundational concept in differential calculus that mathematicians use constantly, but this meme perfectly captures that moment when parents at math museums scoff at elegant mathematical proofs like they're just random squiggles. For the uninitiated, Rolle's Theorem really does state that if a continuous, differentiable function has the same value at two points, there must be a point between them where the derivative equals zero (that flat "stationary point" on the graph). The genius of this joke is comparing sophisticated mathematical theorems to modern art - both often elicit the infamous "my kid could make that" reaction from people who don't appreciate the decades of theory behind them!
