MathMask™

A face mask designed by a mathepreneur that has a math question printed on it, which aims at reducing innumeracy among its wearers during this pandemic crisis—when both safety and numeracy are achieved in a profitable way.
At $1 per MathMask™, or at $10 a dozen, these “smart masks” are expected to be popular gift items among both pro- and anti-Trump evangelicals this Christmas.

Mathematical Butterfly

When a math educator has emerged from their cocoon to be at zero mercy of a controlling or demanding boss, or of an oft-stifling educational system, to take charge of what they want to do in math or math education in spite of the risks and uncertainties before them.
For the large majority of teachers and tutors, procrastination or the fear of failure has prevented them from becoming the mathematical butterfly God has destined them to be.

Avoid Pi Like the Plague

An ill-advised mantra math-anxious folks unquestionably take to heart on hearing it from negative or unhelpful people, who are only contaminating the minds of their listeners with fake mathematical information.
To tell someone to avoid pi like the plague is like telling them that π is a rational number because it can be expressed as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

Everyone is a fake

Not just Donald Trump, but practically everyone who has ever achieved some degree of worldly success, is a charlatan—people improvise as they go along, hoping that luck and success would conspire to be on their side until they become somebody blessed with many friends (and fiends and foes).
The biographies of many successful people reveal that when faced with hit-and-hope situations, they can’t help but to bluff or fake their way through until they make it—an oft-unspoken common denominator among many rich and famous people is that everyone is a fake at some point, when they’re still a nobody.
