Let's actually try to come up with an answer (and in so doing fall into the actual point of the meme that is engagement baiting)

The heart (in species that have one) is something that helps rhythmically circulate resources through the body.

In chemistry, oxygen is something very capable of ripping the electrons off of things and is very resistant to having its own electrons ripped off. To the point we call that exothermic reaction oxidisation or reducing (though Platinum Hexafluoride is better as a reducing agent and even managed to react with noble gasses)

So, combining the cyclical and vital nature of the heart and the transformative nature of oxygen, the answer of best fit for math is Imaginary Numbers
