Origin of the Meme
The woman in the meme is Renata Sorrah, a renowned Brazilian actress. The image is taken from the telenovela “Senhora do Destino” (2004), where she played the character Nazaré Tedesco, a manipulative and cunning villain. In one scene, she looks visibly puzzled—this facial expression, combined with superimposed math graphics (borrowed from another meme format), became what we now know as the "math lady" meme.
