When Simple Patterns Meet Polynomial Overkill

When Simple Patterns Meet Polynomial Overkill
The sequence 1, 3, 5, 7 is clearly an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2, so the next number should be 9. But no, some mathematical terrorist decided to fit a 4th degree polynomial to these points and calculate f(5), resulting in the monstrous 217341. This is the mathematical equivalent of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. The Doge meme with its "very logic" and "such function" commentary perfectly captures the absurdity that mathematicians deal with daily. Non-mathematicians think we enjoy this kind of overcomplicated nonsense. We don't. We're just too dead inside to complain anymore.

The Ultimate Mathematical Flex

The Ultimate Mathematical Flex
This is peak math humor right here! Someone created the most ridiculously overcomplicated formula using nothing but the constant e and somehow managed to make it equal π (3.14159265359). It's like they decided "Hey, let's make the most absurd mathematical flex possible!" The beauty is that π and e are both fundamental mathematical constants that show up everywhere in nature, but they're completely different beasts. Finding relationships between them is like discovering secret passages between parallel universes! This formula is the mathematical equivalent of using a rocket launcher to kill a fly. Pure mathematical overkill that would make even Euler cry tears of joy (or confusion). I'm dying at all those nested e 's and integrals just to get to a number we all memorized in middle school! 🤣
