82To anyone confused, watch this video. It is a graphical representation of e^(pi)(i). Imagine, then, graphing it with half of pi instead. It would result in a 90 degree rotation instead of 180 degrees. And what is 8 rotated 90 degrees? An infinity symbol.
33Its a math pun
10I mean, kinda? I dunno if "pun" is the right word, but certainly a joke. I teach college math, btw.

I'm by no means a mathologist or anything but I'm calling bullshit. Something times 8 is infinity? C'mon
17e^(i pi/2) rotates a point 90 deg around the unit circle. The joke is that it simply rotated 8 by 90 degrees.
41Ok. That's great, stupid joke. I love it
14
Sometimes, humans should not be allowed to play with numbers. This is one of those times.
16I'm missing the joke.
9The joke is that the 8 gets rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise which turns it into an infinity symbol.
32
The joke is that 8 lying down (ie, rotated by 90°) is ∞
10e shot 8, now 8 is dead.
8If I weren’t already sitting down, I’d fall over too when presented with this equation.
3Thanks, I hate it.
3This is hilarious. Sadly, I can't share it with any of my friends
