my grandma peeling potatoes

[–] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m sure that’s true, but this one went over my head. Help?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

this is a surface integral so the joke is (loosely): as opposed to peeling in straight strips (line integral), grandma is peeling continuously without lifting her hand

It's a surface integral of a vector F over a surface S. I guess they are extending the joke from 1D to a 2D surface which is smoothly integrated (peeled).
