In the computational sciences, the Ackermann function (represented as A(m,n) is the simplest example of a total function (a function defined for all possible input values) which is computable but not primitive recursive, which was originally formulated to disprove the once-common belief that every computable function was also primitive recursive, but is now used to generate absurdly large numbers to horrify mathematicians.
Calling the Ackermann function with (4, 4) as its parameters is already too large to calculate for most computers.
xkcd's number calls the Ackermann function with Graham's Number as both of its parameters.

Get the Ackermann function mug.Literal meaning: "I don't understand girls with high heels, it's fashion before function." (high heels are extremely uncomfortable, but fashionable)
Joke-like/metaphorical meaning:
-Look at that poser, can he even ollie?
-I don't think so, fashion before function. (Posers only look good, they can't do shit)
P.s. I'm not a native-speaker, so the examples might be a bit lame, but I'm pretty sure the definition is right.

A neurotypical with just enough autistic traits to be tolerable.
These positive traits include:
Not needing to make small talk
Not playing head games
Not playing office politics
Prefering function over prettiness
Not complaining that you hurt their feelings every five seconds
Willingness to discuss things over e-mail rather than phone (bonus points if they prefer this)
In time it is hoped that these neurotypicals might learn to pass for aspie.

Get the high functioning fangirl mug.A term also known as "inverse tan" involved with trignonometry used in mathematics.
Utilized when trying to determine one angle of a (i.e.) right angle triangle.
Involved with dividing the 2nd function of tan by the opposite and the adjacent numbers which normally would be given. (i.e. Determine the angle D of this right angle triangle. Opposite = 14 Adjacent = 10 ... Tan-1 {14 divided by 10} Angle D = your answer = 84.28)
Also related to the 2nd function Of Sin and Cos.
(2nd function = Tan-1)
