If you'll look closely, you can see some kind of differential equation on the truck.
What does it mean? Often the random math/science tidbits dropped into the simpsons actually mean something

Looks Navier - Stokesy but I don't recognize that notation, maybe an engineer's notation?
Probably related to fluid mechanics, hence the joke

I don't think it's Navier-Stokes, RT is a common product in thermo and stat mech. So perhaps something from there.

>thermo
Yeah the first part looks like a diffusion equation. Maybe something to do with solutions/mixtures
Looks P.Chemmy, though likely it's just a random assortment of terms.

It means they don't know when to write a d in cursive and when not.
It looks like it describes the motion of electrons in a electrochemical solution, the first part is diffusion and the second some sort of current in a electrochemical configuration (F is the Faraday constant und z the number of electrons per reaction)

Are you mentally retarded? because they did it correctly in that pic

Doesn't someone on the staff have a Ph.D. In mathematics and likes putting stuff like this in the show or is that just futurama
