Mathematical Gaslighting At Its Finest

Mathematical Gaslighting At Its Finest
The mathematical trickery here is just *chef's kiss*. Someone posts what is clearly NOT a square but a weird quarter-circle-with-extensions shape, then boldly labels it "Behold a Square" with a definition that sounds square-like. It's the mathematical equivalent of gaslighting! The question about comparing the area in polar vs. Cartesian coordinates is just the cherry on top of this mathematical crime scene. This is what happens when geometry goes rogue and mathematicians develop a twisted sense of humor. The poor souls in r/theydidthemath trying to calculate angles for this abomination deserve medals.

Physicists Be Like: Spherical Approximations

Physicists Be Like: Spherical Approximations
The infamous "spherical cow" approximation strikes again, but with a feline twist. In physics, we routinely commit mathematical atrocities by reducing complex objects to perfect spheres just to make the math tractable. Sure, your cat might have legs, a tail, and a personality that defies Euclidean geometry, but in our equations? Perfect sphere. Next week: frictionless cats on perfectly flat surfaces. The differential equations practically solve themselves.

New Species Of Bears Just Dropped

New Species Of Bears Just Dropped
Geometry nerds have gone wild with bear taxonomy! ๐Ÿ˜‚ This hilarious math pun plays on coordinate systems in geometry - where "polar" and "Cartesian" actually refer to different ways to map points in space. The "Cylindrical Polar Bear" with its head stuck in a tube and the round plushie "Spherical Polar Bear" take the joke to absurd new dimensions! It's the kind of nerdy wordplay that would make your math teacher secretly giggle during class. Next up: Hyperbolic Bears that just can't stop exaggerating about how much salmon they caught!
