I had a love/hate relationship with math growing up. I remember several particularly painful evenings in middle school, sitting at my family’s dining room table, crying over my math homework because I could not comprehend it.
Thanks to the immense patience shown by my father and my algebra teacher, I learned to appreciate math by the time I made it to high school. Its logic is comforting, and it makes sense (for the most part). Plus, I finally started to understand how useful it would become for the rest of my life. And while most of us don’t need to know how to do long division in our heads, a basic understanding of math can make our lives much easier. And let’s not forget math memes have made dealing with math challenges a little more fun!
Unfortunately, however, some of us never seemed to become friends with math. And as people on the internet are quick to roast others for anything and everything they do wrong, math is no exception. There is an entire subreddit dedicated to laughing at all of the times people had too much confidence in faulty math that did not add up, so we’ve gathered some of our favorite posts just for you.
Whether you’re a mathematician or need a calculator to find out how many hours you work a week, enjoy these posts from “They Didn’t Do The Math” and upvote all of your favorites. Keep reading to also find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from Sofia Baca, one of the hosts of the Breaking Math podcast.
