When the last battle between good and evil prior to the Judgement Day would take place could hypothetically or unprovenly be divined from the digits of the decimal number π.
Both number theorists and biblical numerologists are hell-bent to figuring out the D-day for Pimageddon—who would be the pi futurist who stubbornly claimed to be able to predict Christ’s Second Coming, Who had already forewarned his followers that He would return to earth like a thief?

A shelf that displays your math memorabilia (abacuses, slide rules, polygonal stamps, math-related postcards, 3D wooden puzzles, topology toys, …) that are likely to be a topic of conversation as friends and strangers visit your home.
Ian’s mathematical shrine is made up of origami polyhedrons, magic card tricks, Napier’s rods, vintage calculators and clocks, and Lilliputian math books.

A layperson’s name for the number one followed by 666 zeros, 10⁶⁶⁶—a quantity that is hell-bent to prove itself to be of relevance or significance to mathematicians, metamathematicians, or theomaticians.
Could Hades hold a devillion souls if the wicked aliens from other planets or galaxies were fated to live eternally with earthlings?

The aftermath the overwhelming demand for Taylor Swift’s limited supply of wallet-unfriendly concert tickets has on math or math education among teenagers and young adults in some high-GDP nations and emerging economies in Asia—when there seems to be an inexplicably positive correlation between idol worship and a rise in the quantitative literacy among the Swifties.
Two Swiftematics quickies tailor-made for middle- and high-school Swifties are:
1. Guesstimate how much tourism revenue Taylor Swift’s six concerts would generate when she toured the “fine” city of Singapore in March 2024.
2. What are the chances that a Singaporean Swiftie would get to watch their American idol live when she performed in “Disneyland with the death penalty” next year?

When a Pharisee-turned-politician, who is notorious for his “woke math” gospel in attracting “holy votes” among patriots and puritans in his red-pilled state, has been embarrassingly outwitted by an entertainment giant, and now wants to take revenge by threatening to impose taxes on its hotels and roads that lead to the theme park.
In the DeSantis v. Disney saga, it looks like the loser, who even had the time to write a MAGA-like book while in office, is running short of shady ideas how to fight his legal and political battles, especially when his previous über-corrupt and lying boss is leading in the latest polls despite his simultaneous jail-prone trials.

Often mistaken as “China Math.” Little-known methodologies using 3D abacus and problem-solving strategies or heuristics, and non-Marxist or non-Maoist pedagogies, practiced by local non-drill-and-kill math educators in Taiwan, which are waiting to break free to enlighten the global mathematical community.
The global success of Singapore math has spurred cottage industries in math education like Shanghai Math and Korea Math, which have come and gone quietly. What about Taiwan Math considering that Taiwan is one of the four little dragons besides Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore?
