This two-panel comparison meme humorously highlights differences in consensus over mathematical notation. The top panel depicts a large group of formally dressed people seated calmly around a giant circular conference table, with the header text 'Mathematicians on the addition sign:' and the notation 'A+B' displayed in the center of the table, representing universal agreement on the standard notation for addition. The bottom panel shows a chaotic group of people engaged in a physical brawl in an outdoor sandy area, with the header text 'Mathematicians on the multiplication sign:' and multiple competing multiplication notations (A·B, A*B, A×B, AB, A(B)) overlaid on the fighting people, exaggerating the widespread disagreement between different STEM fields and mathematicians over which multiplication notation is the correct standard to use.

This is a two-panel meme joking about the counterintuitive mathematical fact that 0.999 repeating is exactly equal to 1, not just an approximate value. In the top panel, the left side displays the number 0.999..., while the right side shows a stick figure eating cereal, looking annoyed and confident as it says "That is clearly less than 1". The bottom panel left presents a step-by-step algebraic proof that x = 0.999... equals 1: multiply by 10 to get 10x = 9.999..., subtract x to get 9x = 9, so x = 1. The right side of the bottom panel depicts the same stick figure spitting out its cereal in shocked disbelief after seeing the proof.

This single-panel STEM humor meme features a complex infinite series formula for calculating 1/π, attributed to mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, at the top. On the left below the formula is a cartoon of an enraged, glasses-wearing Wojak/soyjak character shouting the question 'Source?'. On the right is a black and white portrait of Srinivasa Ramanujan, paired with the text 'It was revealed to me in a dream' below his photo. The joke references Ramanujan's real-life habit of claiming many of his revolutionary mathematical insights were gifted to him in dreams by his family deity, poking fun at the common academic and internet culture demand for cited sources for all claims, even those that came from unconventional origins.
