- Season 1 Episode 2 of The Simpsons is titled "Bart the Genius".
In this episode Bart is accepted to a school for gifted children after cheating on an intelligence test. His math teacher presents a Calculus joke to the class which he does not understand.
This video explains that joke.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments section.
Even after this explanation i still feel like Bart
Anarchists aren't known to be intelligent.
I always thought i would get this joke after taking calc.... then i took calc and still had no idea what the hell she did. thanks for explaining the weird bit of rearranging after differentiation, it's bothered me for years.
LOL. These kids aren’t gifted, they’re literally geniuses. Actually, whoever made this joke is an absolute genius
It's literally the most trivial shit once you understand the basics of calculus.
You can learn this in 45 mimutes
I think I heard that a lot of the original SImpsons (and futurama) writers were literal mathematicians -- i.e. they had degrees and everything.

I'm with Bart on this one.
YES! I was hoping someone super smart would explain this
Cool video sir!
This video made me glad I don't have to deal with this nonsensical level of mathematics anymore, I solely work out statistics.
Chi Squared is enough to keep me head in check never mind deciphering extremely complex equations with mental arithmetic
It's literally the most trivial shit once you understand the basics of calculus.
At 4:35, multiplication is commutative for real numbers. Differentials do not necessarily commute. The same applies on Matrices (or Matrixes) and many other "subgroups" of Operators.
Thank you for taking the time to make the world and the world of the Simpsons more accessible to us.
This makes a lot more sense once you learn differentiation.
I know explaining a joke ruins it, but explaining a genius’ joke doesn’t ruin it because it was already unfunny AF
First l. Congratulations on your explanation, you manage to do it concisely and yet you didn’t assume things like the definition of a differential 3:06
But c'mon...
0:47 lets talk about why this is funny
Its hilarius because when you have to explain a joke to most people...well...then its no longer a joke
I get the little things like:
1/3 * 3 * r³⁻¹ = 3/3r³⁻¹ = 1r³⁻¹ = r²
but the moment d just pops in, then how a whole 3 is associated with exponent 3, is where my brain stops. Really glad my college textbooks had answers at the end of them
You've got it right. Just remember that the derivative is dy/dr and dr can be multiplied on both sides of the eq. A differential is simply when dy and dr become differences instead of infinitely small numbers. It is going back to the tangent to a graph motivation of derivatives.

*NEEEEEEERRRRRRD!*
r-dr-r.❤😂😂😂😂
My brain hurts.
Bart probably knew ha ha and not har har so hardy ha ha was what he was expecting
Get to the Butt of the Joke already!
Wow, that was great. Didn’t realize the equation was real! That makes me “real” stupid
i shouldn't leave highschool tbh
but you do not learn this in highschool, only in math college
@@swift1793 Some schools are pushing students to start calculus in high school
Ap calc gang
Don't worry: not only is the pun incredibly dumb and involves ignoring algebraic syntax, but the calculation on the teacher's board is wrong. R2DR is RRDR, it's only RDRR if you take one of the R and place it at the end. Not wrong per se, but turns the "pun" into a huge stretch.
@sonic-templeos
That does not exist in my country
It doesn’t work for me because why wouldn’t you leave it as r^2 dr? I can maybe believe the teacher stretched to make a pun, but why would the students think to change it to that form?
😂
It's a stretch, but because she implies it's a joke, you might try and twist it into being funny somehow once you got to that stage. Definitely more of a "groan" joke than the way they took it though 😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dats da joke!
I heard the math on the board is incorrect.
There is a missing factor of r in the teacher's second line of work if you pause the scene at exactly the right time. Instead of r^2, there is just an exponent of 2 and no r. Other than that, I believe the math is correct (although there is no actual reason to ever re-write r^2*dr as r*dr*r).
That's the joke, rdrr is a pun on r^2*dr
You won't get it if you're a bit of a polynigmion.
still meaningless thirty years later....
bruh
I still fell dumb... because it wasnt using standard notations...
Because x and y are used for the typical rectangular space...
Meanwhile "r" is used in polar coordinate systems...
To use y and r in this context.... makes no sense and looks like it was pushing too hard for a joke...which made it unfunny....
Because in this context y = r*sin(theta)
Yall working way too hard for such a lame joke :/
Just like in math classes at school, I zoned out after a minute or so. 🥱
