I’m normally a fan of xkcd but I don’t get this one.
Why would calculus teachers drill holes in the base of the tanks?
Everyone knows calculus teachers hate tanks with a passion
A common problem in many introductory calculus courses is to calculate the amount of water that drains from a container, because it introduces accumulation of change over time.
Ah ok that makes sense, more of a compsci guy then a pure math guy
real (same)
And then it’s in differential equations too since the rate is actually based on the pressure which is proportional to the height of the liquid in the tank
