The method that the heads of the Faculty of Mathematics at the Technion use to torture the first year students.
It's an 'innovative' way to submit calculus homework, without needing anyone to check them. The poor students get about 1-2 sheets of homework a week. They usually concentrate on this hw while neglecting the rest of their courses. Thus causing big gaps of understanding in those courses, not to mention on calculus since those homeworks don't really help, (nobody actually does all of them without cheating anyway).
-Did you here they published 2 more sheets in Mathnet?
-Oh shit, we just submitted 2 yesterday!

mathetic 

of or related to learning
What is the function of utterances of this kind? ... their function is a learning function ... in the sense that they contribute to the child's learning about the environment.
... so we can interpret this mathetic function as arising from a combination of two other functions, the personal and the heuristic. (Halliday, M.A.K. (2003). The language of Early Childhood. London: Continuum. p. 80)

mathletes 

A group of mathematically exceptional students who compete against other schools usually in timed rounds and are often Asian. Many people make fun of them, but they're actually pretty cool, especially if their names are Kevin Gnapoor and Cady Heron. Many mathletes max out the math curricula at their respective schools and have to take math courses though PSEO (post secondary enrollment option), which is provided by many school districts at local colleges.
You can't join mathletes. It's social suicide!
