Guys, I Did It: My Proof That P = Np. Fingers Crossed For The Fields Medal
Content A Simple Resolution of P = NP u/SlipPuzzieheaded7009 HUsuracu We present the first polynomial time algorithm for all problems in N, thereby proving of Cook and oano and Kart and gang 2. our method extends Valiant and gang's algebraic enumeration techniques 3 and 7 (1014 introduction The P vs NP problem- in Cook's 1971 theorem-provino work 1 and Karo's 1972 compilations of IF-complete problems 2 asks whether every problem whose solution can be verified in (n" time can also be solved in O(n) time We prove P = NP by devising a polv time solver that swn thesises circuit constructions a la vallant and gang.3 with certicate guided branching methods (Papadimitriou and gang 4).

The Biggest Real Number Just Dropped

The Biggest Real Number Just Dropped
Oh sweet infinity tears! This mathematical prank is pure GENIUS! 🤓 The "proof" claims to find the biggest real number by starting with 0.999... (which equals 1), then doing some algebraic gymnastics to create a "bigger" number. But here's the cosmic joke - in mathematics, there IS NO biggest real number! For every real number, you can always add 1 to get a bigger one. It's like claiming you've found the last digit of π! Mathematicians are currently rolling on the floor and clutching their calculators in hysterics. This is the mathematical equivalent of dividing by zero - it breaks the universe, but with STYLE!

The Self-Referential Theorem

The Self-Referential Theorem
When your math professor starts proving theorems about himself! 😂 This is what happens when academics spend too much time alone with their equations - they start writing autobiographical math proofs on the board! The best part? He's standing there contemplating how to prove his "big mouth" theorem. I bet the next slide is "Corollary: I talk through the entire scheduled class time and then some." Math professors really do be turning personal flaws into formal mathematical statements!

Pythagoras Spitting Straight Fire

Pythagoras Spitting Straight Fire
Ancient Greek mathematician dropping mathematical pickup lines like they're hot. Pythagoras really out here turning his theorem into relationship advice. His triangle game is so strong he's giving dating tips from 500 BCE. The man who wouldn't eat beans somehow became the original math influencer. Next thing you know, he'll be selling "Hypotenuse Hustle" merch and triangle-shaped protein powder.

The Infinite Badness Theorem

The Infinite Badness Theorem
This is mathematical proof at its finest - using the same logical rigor that builds calculus to conclusively demonstrate what every math teacher secretly knows: math jokes are simultaneously infinite and terrible. The first proof uses the classic infinity-by-contradiction approach (hello, Cantor's diagonalization!) to show there are infinitely many math jokes. The second proof is a masterpiece of circular logic that traps "good math jokes" in an inescapable paradox - if people know them, they're not funny; if they're not funny, they're not good. The conclusion? An infinite supply of jokes, all equally bad. Which, frankly, explains why mathematicians keep recycling the same π jokes at department parties.

The Bayesian Breakdown

The Bayesian Breakdown
Ever tried to understand Bayes' Theorem without having your brain melt? That's what this meme is capturing! It's that moment when you realize the only way to comprehend this statistical sorcery is through a convoluted Wikipedia rabbit hole of clicks. Bayes' Theorem looks deceptively simple (P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A)/P(B)) but turns your cerebral cortex into pudding when you try to apply it. The blue-faced reaction is every student who thought they understood probability until THIS monstrosity appeared on their exam! It's basically the mathematical equivalent of assembling IKEA furniture with instructions written in hieroglyphics. No wonder we need an AI assistant to help us navigate this probability nightmare!

Shortcut To Success

Shortcut To Success
Look at that mathematical rebel taking the hypotenuse while everyone else follows the right-angled path! Pythagoras isn't just theorizing—he's living his theorem! While the normies trudge along the two sides of the courtyard (a² + b²), our geometric genius slashes diagonally across (c²) proving that the shortest distance between two points is indeed a straight line. His colleagues are clearly jealous they didn't think of it first! That's not just working smarter instead of harder—that's weaponizing your own mathematical discovery for daily commute optimization! 🔼🔽↗️

Proof: Trivial (For Geniuses Only)

Proof: Trivial (For Geniuses Only)
The classic mathematician's cop-out strikes again! Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of math students quite like seeing "Proof: Trivial" written on the board after staring at an incomprehensible theorem for 45 minutes. It's the academic equivalent of "they had us in the first half, not gonna lie" – except the professor never bothers explaining the second half. Just like that football player's honest admission, mathematicians will casually drop "trivial" when the proof would actually require 17 pages and the sacrifice of your weekend. Next time your professor pulls this stunt, ask them to prove it's trivial... then watch them sweat.

Benefits Of Being Pythagoras

Benefits Of Being Pythagoras
The ultimate mathematical flex! While one ancient Greek dude calls Pythagoras "cool" and another dismisses him as a "nerd," our triangle-loving mathematician is literally walking perpendicular to the wall, defying gravity at a perfect 90° angle. He's not just proving his theorem—he's living it! His footprints form the perfect hypotenuse while the wall and floor create the other two sides of a right triangle. The irony is delicious: being called a nerd while demonstrating why you're mathematically superior to everyone else. Pythagoras didn't need social validation when he could casually break physics instead.

Proof Of The Jordan Curve Theorem

Proof Of The Jordan Curve Theorem
Ever witnessed a mathematician having an existential crisis? This is pure gold. The Jordan Curve Theorem—which basically says "closed loops have an inside and outside"—seems ridiculously self-evident, yet it requires a complex formal proof that drove this poor soul to mathematical madness. It's the mathematical equivalent of spending three hours proving water is wet. The frustration is palpable—like explaining to your grandparents why the sky is blue and getting asked for peer-reviewed citations. Twenty pages of topology just to confirm what every fence-builder since the dawn of civilization intuitively knew. This is why mathematicians drink.

Proof By F*cking Obviousness!

Proof By F*cking Obviousness!
Ever had that moment in math class when the professor spends 45 minutes proving something that seems ridiculously self-evident? That's the Jordan Curve Theorem in a nutshell! Some brilliant mathematician finally snapped and created the most honest proof in academic history. "It's a closed loop. Of course there's going to be an outside and inside." Revolutionary stuff, folks! The funny part? This "trivial ass" theorem actually requires complex topology to prove formally. Mathematicians spent decades developing the rigorous proof while the rest of us were just drawing circles and saying "duh, inside and outside." Next up in the academic journal: groundbreaking proof that water is wet and the sky appears blue under certain atmospheric conditions.

The Meme Has An Accurate Approximation!

The Meme Has An Accurate Approximation!
The eternal divide between pure mathematicians and engineers in one perfect meme! While mathematicians get excited about theoretical proofs with no immediate application, engineers are just waiting for the moment math becomes useful in the real world. When the mathematician finally mentions "improving approximations," the engineer's interest goes from zero to a hundred real quick. Because let's face it - in engineering, everything is an approximation. π = 3? Close enough if you're building a shed. The speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s? Good enough for most calculations. Pure math is beautiful, but engineers just want something that works before the deadline!
