I’m normally a fan of xkcd but I don’t get this one.

Why would calculus teachers drill holes in the base of the tanks?

A common problem in many introductory calculus courses is to calculate the amount of water that drains from a container, because it introduces accumulation of change over time.

And then it’s in differential equations too since the rate is actually based on the pressure which is proportional to the height of the liquid in the tank
