A politically correct phrase for “fake news” or “alternative facts”—a hypocrite’s or Pharisee’s word for “bullshit.”

The theological or theomatical equivalent of an identity versus an equation—it is like comparing the infinite solutions of Christ to the extraneous or faux solutions of gods and goddesses.
Without Christ in the equation, it’s just an expression; a false prophet or guru would offer a faux or extraneous solution with quasi-zero suspicion from the flock they’re leading or deceiving—this is why people need to learn about the spiritual truths in the “Jesus v. Deities” eternal war.

The mathematical equivalent of “Got Milk or Not?” A question that is normally asked by Ah Beng’s and Ah Lian’s—Singapore’s and Malaysia’s young men and women, whose attires and antisocial behaviors make them look like some odds in a sea of evens—to check whether some math courses are worth attending, or some dear math titles are worth buying, especially if they contain an obscene number of challenging questions with few solutions.

How mathematics is used in cultural astronomy, such as in figuring out the date of Chinese New Year or the start date of Ramadan (the fasting month for Muslims)—both dates depend on the phase of the moon.
One unexpected draw to heavenly math is that it often draws arts and humanities students to discover the sciences behind astronomy, especially those who have an irrational fear of numbers.

The minimalist value of pi (unless you need a far better approximation to ensuring that someone lands safely on a distant planet, or that a computer system is in good working conditions).
For most practical purposes involving the constant π, you’d do fine with the quick-and-dirty value of 3.

Exposing the mysteries, magic, and myths about the number π to an oft-innumerate or semi-mathophobic lay public, who secretly desire to gain an understanding or appreciation of the beauty, ubiquity, and utility of mathematics’ most famous constant.
Prof. Ian recently revised and updated “Naked Pi,” which is presently available for sale only on the dark web, because part of the book’s mature or woke content might not go well with a conservative or puritan audience.
