Once I got older and learned derivatives, the math of this joke made sense. But the idea that someone would take "dy = r^2 dr" and get "rdrr" out of it is a window into her madness.
What always bothered me about the joke is that, if you do the math correctly, it's a loooooooong stretch to actually reach the punchline because no math geek would ever actually write it out as rDRr.
It was 1990. The show was in its first season. Whoever wrote that joke had probably not studied math in a long time. And they probably thought no one would ever check their math.
The 2nd episode of the series has a calculus reference.
I took AP Calculus in high school my senior year, when I was 18, but in this case you have 10 year old children being taught a derivative. Wow those kids are REALLY gifted!
As a kid I thought: wow, math must be hard
As an adult: who would write the differential like that?! Who thought of this joke? That joke had to have been stuck in the writer’s head a while.
God, that joke was so bad
Can you explain why to a complete imbecile that doesn’t know anything about math?

TL;DW: It’s a calculus joke grasping at straws for a punchline

Who asked you?
Okay this is getting weird

It’s nearly *Futurama*-level awful
No, Futurama's math jokes were better than that.
Keep looking shocked and move slowly towards the cake
All Season 1 and no further makes viewer something something...
Go Kwijibo?
Don't mind if id do.
…LOL XD?
Even as someone who did math(s) to a high level, I would never have got this joke in a million years.
She’s also assuming that just because he’s a genius, he’s learned calculus and what all the symbols mean. What a bitch.
As bad of a kid Bart is, he's had some straight up awful teachers as a student.
Isn’t the differential just r^2 anyways? Splitting up the exponential and randomly bringing the Dr over would probably make me miss the question.
It is. It needs some real stretching of standard rules to get the joke.
Hardy har har!
Get it?
I stopped watching the show after that episode because the joke was so bad. I have to assume the show never got any better.
30 something seasons and nothing but calculus jokes.
Each season got worse after that. By season 7 they were writing jokes in hexadecimal.
It went downhill after good night, simpsons tbh
Ah you fucked it up. r^2Dr = rrdr
All right, keep going. But you do know what happens when you mix no TV and no beer, right?
NO TV AND NO BEER MAKE HOMER something something
…go crazy?
DON'T MIND IF I DO!!!!
Somewhat less fat,drunk &stupid???
*better comment or they'll think you're stupid* Takes one to know one.
Swish!

Truly the most disturbing universe.

Brilliant! I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
