How the cleansing and healing power of the five elements—fire, water, wood, metal, earth—could open our minds and bodies to the hidden beauty or symmetry of the number π.
To truly experience, feel, or visualize pi, a pure mathematician turned Zen Master recommended his students to the tao of pi—when they might see the invisible in π with their mind’s or spiritual eye.

Get the Timeshitting mug.When math publishers pretend to be inclusive, by supporting LBGT students, teachers, and parents, when their motive is getting them to buy more of their oft-half-edited pricier titles.
Guesstimate how many gay and trans mathematicians and math educators are being taken for a ride by rainbow math publishing nationwide.

Get the Rainbow Math Publishing mug.When you meditate on the number π through all five senses, by disconnecting from the use of all technology with screens—only a pen and paper allowed, if need be—in the hope of experiencing an aha!
Going barefoot, being naked or/and blindfolded, and wearing a mask are some recommended frames of mind for those who are serious enough to put themselves in a pi posture.

Get the Piccinated mug.When the number π has undergone many transformations over the centuries from being merely associated to a circle to identifying itself with infinite series, the bell curve, and even the possible communication with extraterrestrials—from geometry and trigonometry to statistics and probability to infinity and astronomy.

Get the Pi Reincarnation mug.When promiscuously extrapolating or generalizing a math formula, or misusing an infinity concept, in some step of a mathematical proof leads to a contradictory or nonsensical result about the number pi, such as π = 2 or π = 666.
Poking fun at prideful or pseudo-geeky math students to explain a pi paradox is a subtle way to humble their egos in exposing their oft-half-baked understanding of mathematical concepts.
