Symbol-minded; enviably mathematical; or abstractly blessed—a happy condition produced by God’s favor on a sinner rather than because they were born or blessed with the “math gene,” which for 99.99% of mathematicians and math educators worldwide is seldom accompanied by academic awards or financial rewards.
If you’re a K–12 math tutor, teacher, editor, or writer, consider yourself already mathointed; or doubly blessed if you’re a polytechnic or university math lecturer or consultant—it’s not so much what you’ve been gifted with, but what you do with it to benefit or bless others.
