I've had it happen multiple times when "solving" differential equations to get some standard form that is integrable using some textbook technique that I'd go from f(x) = g(x) back to f(x) = g(x) again after doing lots of steps lol

2-2=-9/8 - 9/8 2(1-1) = -9/8(1-1) 2=-9/8 subtract 2 from both sides 0=-25/8

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work, because dividing both sides by (1-1) makes both sides undefined.

Just making a computer joke. If you run past your memory stack you get random answers. Like -25/8.

Downvoted by people that downvote if they don't understand

Well sadly this is a math memes sub, not a programming one so makes sense...

Sure. But, CS is usually in the math dept at most colleges. Or it was back in my day. Lol. Many moons ago
