The most accomplished child of the Simpson family is Lisa. Lovers of the show should remember she’s a math nerd and lover of trigonometry. Most of the math references come through her character, but not all of them. The funniest math references are usually reserved for the family oaf known as Homer. He’s the last character one would expect any level of intelligence from, but he pulls it off well, even if it’s by accident. With so many great minds behind the project, it’s no wonder they’ve had so many surprising hits.
The next time you take a moment to sit down and watch your favorite episode of the Simpsons, remember to look for the math. You may dazzle your family and friends with your Simpsons trivia knowledge — and you might even find a clue or two predicting the future.
