Get the Pi Prejudice mug.Short for “QAnon Calculus.” When white supremacists or racists claim that God set the white race apart from other races, by empowering them with the tools of calculus, so that any inventions they come up with would prove to others, who idolize gods and goddesses, that they are a privileged or selected lot.
Citing Newton and Leibniz as QAlculus ambassadors, alt-right Trumpists and QAnonists told their brethren that both British and German mathematics would witness a second mathematical revolution in the next decade or so.

Get the QAlculus mug.A term used by those who know beforehand that they don’t stand a chance to pass their math test or exam unless they resort to lying, cheating, or bribery—they often blame the teacher for bias against them, practicing unfair grading, or setting unrealistic or artificial questions that are confusing and open to different interpretations.
Guesstimate how many Trumpublican students in red states every year would scapegoat fake math for their failure to get a passing grade in their middle- or high-school math paper rather than putting in the time and effort to master the math concepts.

Get the Fake Math mug.A fruit of seduction by the devil to the woman when she was together with her other half in the Garden of Eden, from the beginning, as though she needed one to get excited when a strawberry would do.
The apple is like the fruity equivalent of the “unlucky Friday 13,” which has received such a bad press from superstitious folks, who would blame the date for anything that could possibly go wrong on that “evil day.”

Get the Apple mug.A postmodern form of geometry that promotes flawed thinking, where the correctness of a proof is relative—for example, in a geometric figure, if an angle looks right, then it is unquestionably taken to be ninety degrees; or if a line segment appears straight, then there is no reason to doubt otherwise.
Trumpian Geometry seems to exhibit the pattern of assumption-intimidation-conclusion, where answers to geometric problems are countries-dependent—for example, the answers to most questions when solved in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea are the same, but are situationally different elsewhere.

Get the Trumpian Geometry mug.Adult math questions that leverage on the activities that take place at karaoke lounges and nightclubs, which often illegally employ foreign-born hostesses to entertain both local and foreign male customers seeking some thrill they can’t get from their girlfriends and wives.
Can you solve this vice math problem? “The total number of Covid-19 cases linked to an infected KTV hostess so far is 128, who is traced to have had initial contact with two customers. Assuming that all infected patrons at the sleazy location each went on to share the virus with two other persons, what is the reproduction number R₀ for this cluster?”
