Doctor Who's real name is d³∑x²

I’m just glad he dropped the RE off of the front of his ships name, to be politically correct of course.

it almost is…

The third derivative of the sum of x squared. It’s part of an expression, because it doesn’t state which derivative is being taken (that is , what variable the derivative is being taken with respect to).

Choosing the obvious guess, x, suggests the denominator with a dx^3 term, which would yield an interesting answer: zero.

@beschizza:

Doctor Who is the name of the show; “The Doctor” is the (humanly known) name of the character.

Assuming “d” is an operator and not a variable. I suspect The Doctor is deliberately sowing the seeds of discord!

The Doctor does bear an uncanny resemblance to the God of Biscuits.

Still more decipherable than an Anthony Braxton song title.

Is there a better possible Doctor anywhere?

Well, d by itself usually means the exterior derivative which is the derivative with respect to all of the variables which takes its values in the exterior algebra. Turns out that when you apply it twice, you always get zero. So that third time was just for flair.

I had this comic! Just recently I was trying to remember where the who d³∑x² business was from and couldn’t. Actually, I can’t remember anything about these comics, so I should probably check them out again.

A little learning is a dangerous thing ;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring :
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

It doesn’t scan if you say ‘knowledge’.

I’ll stick with Doctor Disco, thanks. Or Doctor Basil John Disco. But shorter is sweeter,
