How It Works
It's pi plus C, of course.
Title text: It's pi plus C, of course.

There are some people who enjoy criticising other people. Quite often they will do this to make themselves feel superior. They may choose any aspect - in the second frame the reason is sex. It is unclear if the antagonist is really misogynistic or simply relying on lazy stereotype to try and feel superior.

The alt-text explains that the result of the formula should also carry a constant of integration, which is something that is often missed when novice (or sloppy) mathematicians perform an indefinite integral. This doesn't detract from the general validity of the formula, it should either have limits on the integral or a constant in the solution.

Beware of people who call you names to win an argument!
