When uninhibited math educators in the “fine” city of Singapore have started posing word problems that use rogue characters who exhibit the idiocies and idiosyncrasies of Mr. Pinocchio and his team of morally corrupt lawmakers and semi-innumerate advisors.
The Trumpification of Singapore math has sprung a dozen-odd politically incorrect titles that aim to hone students’ and parents’ critical thinking skills in mathematics.

Get the The Trumpification of Singapore Mathmug. When publishing houses in the “fine” city of Singapore give their oft-half-baked editorial staff and their semi-inept bosses an ultimatum: commit to high-quality publishing (with limited or quasi-zero resources) and willingness to go the extra (second) mile and helping the company to achieve exponential profitability.
In the Muskification of Singapore math exercise, some morally bankrupt managing editors and publishing managers have further slashed the already-low budget for proofreaders, reviewers, and consultants—editors and writers are expected to wear multiple hats while producing wallet-happy titles.

Get the The Muskification of Singapore Mathmug. When artists, creatives, or math educators leverage on objects like mirror, glass, and water to bring out the concept and magic of mirror-image or reflection symmetry—when an object or image is indistinguishable from its transformed image.

Get the Reflective Mathmug. Short for “Pi Servitude.” When fellow numerical constants and numerals are expected to posture to or serve the number π if they want to associate with or get closer to her.

Get the Pivitudemug. When the number π perpetually ponders about “π”—whether she could forever command trust and respect among fellow numerical constants and in the mathematical community so that they would always think of her first.
Like e and 𝜙, π feels overworked and burned out. What are the odds that to some degree she’d be suffering from the meta-pi syndrome?

Get the Meta-pimug. Overvalued or inflated numbers or percents issued by an unscrupulous or corrupt businessperson, so that their rogue or shady businesses could secure better loan terms and insurance deals, and would pay lesser tax.

Get the Trump Figuresmug. A humanist manifesto that brings together mathematicians and math educators around the globe to promote the message that math, in particular pi, must be humanized and inclusive rather than indifferent and elitist.
In an age of AI, where machines could spread π misinformation and disinformation, it’s of paramount importance that movements like “Pi Needs You!” reside in the mathematical consciousness of an oft-semi-innumerate lay public.
