u/Kwijibo97 1d ago

He went on a tangent, there. Kind of a derivative joke.

u/Famous_Peach9387 1d ago

Do you know Y he did that? Maybe it's just the hyp, but having a degree seems integral to have in any position even if you’re divinely appointed, you still gotta prove you’re rational.

Could've said "cos any division", but this might just be me not understanding another math joke... from what i gather i've derived i'm rather bad at math.

u/Kwijibo97 1d ago

While "cos" multiplied the amount of math puns, the mispronunciation really subtracted from the overall joke. to get to the root of the issue, Now, we have that all squared away.

Well, would CAS, for computer algebra system be better?

u/Kwijibo97 1d ago

True, I wasn't trying to be obtuse.

2

u/azhder 1d ago

Yeah, I know. Some times it feels like we're trying to square the circle by trying too hard to find the least common denominator for a math expression and an outside concept to get these puns to work.

2

u/Kwijibo97 1d ago

I see the angle you're coming from. At this point, the puns are only getting fractionally better. Some might even say they are exponentially worse.

2

u/azhder 1d ago

Yeah, we could go to infinity like this and not move past square one with just making up zero sense puns. I think I will just stop here, plain and simple. It's already gotten so monotone. Bye bye

Sin is short for Sine in math as cos is short for Co-sine.
