calculus rhapsody

Hello there, it's been a good while ٩(◕‿◕)۶

This fic is inspired by a real poster of the Math Stack Exchange forum, Cleo, who was a legend among math students when I was in university. I pretty much used the real posts and answers from Stack Exchange, so the fic has a lot of math lingo, but I promise it's not necessary to understand the actual math to keep up with the story.

The format of the fic needs a custom work skin to look nice, so if you want to get the full experience, click on "Show Creator's Style". All Stack Exchange posts are screenshots because unfortunately equations cannot be coded into a custom ao3 skin, so if you have trouble zooming in on the pictures, you can click on them to see them full size.

The skins used in this fic are:

Whatsapp Work Skin Template /Revamped by user pe_pe_peperoncinocandy,

UPDATED Reddit Skin by spookedcroon by user jinsake,

simple discord formatting by user bluuscreen,

How to insert Gmail emails in your fic by user DemigodOfAgni.

I send a flying kiss to all skin coders of ao3.

This fic is set in 2014, with Suguru fresh out of college, but I'm 99% sure that I'm using lingo and memes that are from the next decade. Please, pretend you do not see it.

The title of the fic comes from this video that I still find hilarious. Great times.

I hope you enjoy this silly thing.

Hmmm11:33

It has to do with harmonic numbers but it's been a while since I last did anything with those11:33

I could try to solve it11:33
