{{Main|Vandalize Every Equation}}
*Search for derivatives \frac{d}{d x} and change them into partial derivatives \frac{\partial}{\partial x}.
*Replace \left( with \left] and \right) with \left[. Also replace \left[ with \left) and \right[ with \right(. This will REALLY cause headaches.
*????
*Profit!
Read up on more 'esoteric' symbols, like \geqq and \leqq and throw them in in places where it's completely inappropriate.

How to break LaTeX and make mathematicians angry

Moar info: Vandalize Every Equation.

Mathematicians are inherently angry and frustrated people, and provoking them takes little to no effort. Essentially any interaction is likely to provoke rage, but if you want to incite full and complete aspie meltdown, erasing their chalkboard is the quickest method.

Breaking LaTeX is quite an achievement, and probably not something that you are smart enough to do. In fact, this is so difficult that Donald Knuth (author of Computer Science III) will mail you a check if you can pull it off.

On the other hand, if you would like to mislead physics students who are unable to do their own homework, and under the ill-conceived impression that the internet can do it for them, subtle edits to TOW are the correct method of attack.

Actual mathematicians don't read, nor do they (constructively) edit TOW, because it is full of shit and they distrust technology; instead they prefer the antiquated (yet effective) "book" format for purposes of education and reference. As such, the people editing and watching a typical math article on TOW are even fuller of shit than usual, making these articles a prime choice for vandalism.
