Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 07, 2021

Not until he finds someone to cosine.

Oh great! He’s doing the wave again!

This is what differentiates us.

Time to hit the bar graph

Ralph’s right.

This comic is the scene of a serial offense – a math punning.

He’s heading off on another TANGENT? Well, that’s not a good SINE! ;D

The slope of a sine wave is a cosine wave.

The second graph appears to be jealous.

Sometimes “going off on a tangent” is better (more fun, interesting, worthwhile) than the original “course”/“plan”.

At least she’s not being obtuse about it.

Well, the power is in the RMS!

If it wasn’t for geometry, life would be pointless.

I once had an organic chemistry teacher who digressed so badly that many of his students were failing. Instead of discussing course material, he would go off on some story about industrial chemistry. He actually became a “bottleneck” for chemistry majors trying to graduate. The administration finally cracked down on him and told him to work from an outline. Taking the course for the third time, I was amazed to see him give a coherent, relevant lecture. He never did it again.

Ooops, sorry but I am in the wrong room. Should have seen the Freaks and Geeks sine.

Can he graph his reciprocal function too? ’Cosecant.

It reminds me of the skier that ran smack dab into a tree…

The calculus of this is simply blasphemous …!

The evil axis.

This gave me flashbacks to the nightmare I had of showing up for a calculus final and I was out the whole semester! (Wait! I don’t think that was a dream…!)

Sine off STAT!!!!

sine and cosine this bank loan application for me, pleez.

My inner “Nerd” finds this hilarious. : P

Well, at least their reasoning isn’t circular.

That’s not a tangent and apparently all the above “math nerds” failed. A tangent only touches a curve at ONE point and never crosses it (this also means you can’t have a line that’s tangent to a steady infinite sine wave.)
