This meme become even better
Is this an I, or a hint that her feelings are complex?
Imaginary feelings
She misses the imaginary root.
Complex relationship
j miss you :^)
Maths, not engineering!
i will always be current. j will always be the square root of -1. Nothing will ever override this in my brain
J is the current density!
Capital J is current density, lowercase j is √1
I don’t remember nearly enough science stuff to get most of the jokes here. Oh well.
If I'm not wrong, I think the square root of minus 1 is an imaginary number which is represented by i
Don't ask me anymore questions about this if you want real answers because I genuinely don't know any more.
Yep, sqrt(-1) = i. Powers of i are actually really neat imo since they form a loop:
i^0 = 1
i^1 = i
i^2 = -1
i^3 (or i^2 x i or -1 x i) = -i
Now the loop starts:
i^4 = i^2 x i^2 = 1 x 1 = 1
i^5 = i^4 x i^1 = 1 x i = i
etc
Any evaluation of i to the power k boils down to i^(k%4). For example, i^726 = i^2 = -1. I know this was super useful in calc 1 or 2 and not used for any of my other math classes, it's just a fun concept to me
Powers of (1/√2 + i/√2) form a nice loop as well :)
Okay, that’s a deal. And thanks!
this guy and his imaginary girlfriend. He sure has a complex relationship
She really did miss him with that one.
It's not even capital i
Maybe
∫~0~^M^ r^2^ dM
Would work better?
Well ackshuwally uppercase I denotes the identity matrix :P
Imaginary girlfriend lmao
As my math teacher said:
Ich ziehe meine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten.
Sorry, I don't think this works when translated.
I pull up the root of an unknown.
Meaning a: I take the root of a variable
Meaning b: I pull my "root" out of an unkown woman
Ich kenn den anders. Wahre Mathematik ist es, wenn man schon morgens seine Wurzel aus einer Unbekannten zieht xD
Kept reading that as iota. "I ought to" miss you
U R my number -e^iπ^
In my humble opinion e^iτ^ is a lot prettier
I don't really like this syntax. √ should be used on positive reals only
That's my take, change my mind
Math Miss You
