Ah, mathletics. A clever portmanteau of the words “math” and “athletics” despite the fact that it’s not really very related to athletics. My school doesn’t have “mathletics” competitions (but it does have clubs based on math competitions like AMC), and I don’t actually know if any school actually uses the word “mathletics.” I just saw a sign at school with the word “athletics,” which came right after some other word ending with an M, and it sorta looked like the word “mathletics.” And that is the only reason why I made this daily flash. Well, besides the fact that having an actual math+athletics thing would be kinda cool to see.
When our calculus teacher actually told us this joke today, people actually did start laughing when she said they were walking down the street, which is what inspired Unnamed Character’s reactions throughout the daily flash. Except she actually understands the joke, contrary to what actually happened with some people. A lot of people in the class didn’t seem to get it at first, although they laughed at the earlier parts that weren’t really supposed to be funny. It was probably sarcastic laughter though; I know I was laughing sarcastically throughout, and then when she got to the punchline, I actually did think it was funny. Also, did I mention that calculus is awesome? Because it is.
The cool part is that this actually happened. Well, everything except the last few frames. Everyone was yelling and going “woahhhhh” and “woooooooo!” after it happened. That was perhaps the most exciting calculus class ever. For now, anyway. Given how awesome calculus is so far, it can only get more awesome. Did I mention how awesome calculus is?
Yes, the fundamental theorem of calculus! I still have no idea how the second part of the theorem is useful, but I guess I shall find out soon! Also, I’m sure that a bunch of people will have no idea what the teacher is saying, and that’s okay, because the extra text is just there to waste space and to make it seem like a real lecture about the fundamental theorem of calculus. I feel like I should create subcategories for the different types of daily flashes, like math, literature, random, etc. But I’m too lazy to do that now. Anyway… uhh… calculus is awesome. That is all.
