Anyone knows the origin of this representation? I’ve seen a professor use it years ago and I thought it was his, but I guess not.

MelodicMischief,

It is from Matt Might, here.

Matt Might, a professor in Computer Science at the University of Utah, created The Illustrated Guide to a Ph.D. to explain what a Ph.D. is to new and aspiring graduate students.

I have a multivariate calculus joke and it’s pretty normal but its goes on quite the tangent.

EDIT: Can somebody think of a better subject name for this joke? I tried physics at first but that’s too broad and I think Calculus is too specific so idk.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,

Sounds like an angular motion joke.

I have a short calculus joke. It’s a little derivative.

Knusper,

I’m guessing, the rainbow colours are there because prisms are triangular. And to make it look more ridiculous, of course.

The ☤ symbol is a caduceus, which got mixed up here with the Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol for medicine.
So, it’s related to Hippocrates, who was a physician, perhaps most prominently known for the Hippocratic Oath.
