Frequency

A bearded professor stands at a chalkboard, gesturing as he lectures. His speech bubble reads: "Welcome to day one. We start with a frequency-domain differential equation containing complex exponentials, which is multiplied by a dyadic Green's function, projected onto a non-orthogonal basis. This is an approximation, of course." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Everyone hates on reductionism in physics until they see what engineers have to do to describe a simple antenna." Votey (aftercomic): An unseen student says, "Professor, I asked GPT and it became conscious entirely to experience the sweet release of death." The professor, shown in profile, casually replies, "That's normal!"
