Why do mathematicians like to find creative ways to draw penises?

math is gay thats why

Most of the funding of a university come from the popular degrees, like engineering and the effect of this is that then people who manage the budget end up being people who previously managed these faculties. Thus many engineers have high positions at universities, therefore they choose who gets the money.

As this is the case, sometimes mathematicians may want to get into some engy pandering research inbetween their real research to get the people on top to give them raises or give more money to their department.

Heck, research shows that if your grant proposal has the word "dick" written on it then your proposal will have a 6.9% higher chance of being approved than an equivalent proposal with no mention of dicks.

Mention of black dicks specifically increase your odds to 10%

It is called pleasing the crowd and in this case the crowd is a group of engineers and if there is anything that pleases them is cock.

Because we want to have fun and laugh hard

Also laugh and bully CS like always

To keep the engineers from complaining about everything that isn't a triple integral being useless

Outreach stuff

Visualizing stuff often helps seeing patterns

Visualizing stuff means find a way to project arbitrary structures onto a 2d map, which is kind of interesting and helps you understand those arbitrary structures in more detail.

Example: Mandelbrot set. In formulae it seems perfectly boring, but when you visualize the whole thing an insanely complex structure unravels. It also simply looks pretty.
