When the number zero starts exhibiting its mean or ugly side, by being a “numerical troublemaker” to other numbers in an arithmetic operation.
Zero can really be a “numerical asshole” if it’s allowed to behave in a zeroist manner vis-à-vis fellow numerals, when they’re part of a mathematical operation like 1 ÷ 0, 0 ÷ 0, or 0⁰.

Singapore math is an example of a good business math model, which has made a dent in the world of mathematics education—Singapore’s math textbooks have earned both local and foreign publishers millions of dollars over the last two decades.

Rose resorts to office politics and apple polishing to make up for her editorial ineptitude in occupying the managing director position—she's been promoted to her next level of incompetency, where editors hope she'll cause the least damage to the editorial team.

Be it your career, business, or relationship, let Jesus, the multiplier, be part of the little you have, and witness His power in multiplying them beyond your dream or imagination.

Get the Horrorscope 2018 mug.When fertile or fitting real-life or contextual questions and math tidbits or humor in a math textbook, submitted to Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) for approval, are often rejected for politically incorrect reasons, or because the items could potentially be perceived to be linked to politics, race, religion, or sex.
Items like “Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not divide by zero!” and phrases like “beautiful curves,” “immoral algebra,” and “juicy little theorem” are banned without being given valid reasons—aren’t these rejections part of the sanitization of Singapore math to only publish sterilized or sterile contents to satisfy the mathematical wants of a humorously or prudishly challenged audience or readership?

Just as the trisectors of yesteryear tried to prove the impossible, pisectors are hell-bent to achieving their goal, hoping that their proofs would bring them mathematical fame or immortality—when being dubbed a “mathematical crank” feels less bitter than being a nobody or fading in obscurity.
