Tables Memes

The eternal battle between mathematical purists and pragmatists captured in one image. On the left, we have the integration masochist who believes suffering through pages of substitutions and partial fractions is the only honorable path. On the right, the enlightened mathematician who understands that life is finite and integral tables exist for a reason. That horrifying exponential fraction with secant? It's basically the mathematical equivalent of choosing to climb Everest in flip-flops when there's a perfectly good helicopter available.
