The woman is covered in 3 different kinds of power series (all Taylor, but one is general and the other two are specific to 1/(1-x) and ln x, respectively) that certain kinds of scientists (presumably personified here by the man) love to swap in for more complicated terms by waving their hands and chanting “first order”. Truncated series give fugly equations a more tractable form by applying certain assumptions (e.g., x is very small, x is very large, or x is fuck-it-we-ball).
EDIT: nvm apparently this is a pop culture reference.

lnis getting married to the definition of a Taylor expansion?ln() is just her hand
So someone is getting married to three definitions of the Taylor expansion and 2 examples in a trenchcoat (not depicted)? I understand even less now.
Ugh, I’m devastated, I was so sure that math was gay but this is making me question everything
