# Equation explanation

I saw these bumper stickers this morning. Can anyone please explain the two with the equations? Why would anyone have them on their car? Is there humor in them that I am missing?

(I did get an A in my college Calculus class. But, I don't remember the formulas.)

• The left-hand side equation is Maxwell-Faraday's equation in electromagnetism. The right-ghand side equation is the First Fundamental theorem of integral calculus. – Bernard Oct 25 '15 at 20:37
• Thanks, Bernard. I have read a little bit about Maxwell and Faraday. I read that Maxwell should be considered as important as Newton or Einstein for what he discovered. But, he is often overlooked. I will search more with the information you kindly provided. – Junco Oct 26 '15 at 14:11
• @Bernard there is no more to be said. You should consider writing your comment as an answer. – davidlowryduda Oct 26 '15 at 14:19
• @mixedmath: I don't think it's that important. Your curiosity is satisfied, and it's the main point. – Bernard Oct 26 '15 at 14:28
• @Bernard in terms of this question, that's true. But in time, the system will cause this question to be brought back to the front page automatically every once in a while (since it's upvoted but has no answers). The system does this to encourage answers on good questions. But this question does not need an answer, as it is answered. Further, a large number of users browse the unanswered questions --- they find it fun to answer questions for others. This question shows up there, but it shouldn't. – davidlowryduda Oct 26 '15 at 15:12
