Calculus Memes

That intimidating Σ (capital sigma) notation that made you question your life choices in calculus? Yeah, it's literally just a for-loop. And that Π (capital pi) symbol that looked like a gateway to mathematical hell? Also a for-loop, but with multiplication instead of addition. The summation iterates from n=0 to 4, adding 3*n each time, while the product does the same from n=1 to 4, multiplying by 2*n. Once you realize mathematical notation is just fancy syntax for basic programming constructs, suddenly those textbooks become a lot less threatening. It's the same energy as discovering that "algorithm" is just a pretentious way of saying "recipe."

The moment you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise. Sigma (Σ) is literally just a sum += operation, and Pi (Π) is just prod *= in a trench coat. Years of math anxiety could've been avoided if they'd just shown us the code equivalent first. Next they'll tell us integrals are just while loops with extra steps.

The moment when you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise! The Σ (sigma) notation is literally just a sum = 0 followed by a for-loop that adds stuff up. And that scary Π (pi) symbol? Just a prod = 1 with a for-loop that multiplies things together. Computer science majors smugly realizing they've been doing advanced math all along without the pretentious notation. Take that, pure mathematicians!
