The mathematical equivalent of “Every cloud has a silver lining.” When the symbol π reminds millions of math-anxious students and their parents worldwide of their dreaded school math lessons, while the seldom-discussed golden or divine ratio 𝜙 would open their eyes to the beauty, utility, and ubiquity of mathematics.

The MAGA-fication of Singapore math has failed to prevent tens of thousands of homeschoolers in red states every year from ordering value-for-money math titles from the “fine” city for their children, who’re often bored or unchallenged by their dear inch-deep, mile-wide thick colorful math textbooks.

When the number π is being spied 24/7/365 online and trolled by envious or jealous numerical constants, who couldn’t stand her global appeal or fame, as thousands of mathematicians and math educators worldwide maniacally devote an obscene number of hours every year trying to discover hidden properties about her.
