When there is an imbalance in opportunity between one math student and another—say, for instance, between a student born in Singapore and one born in Sudan; or one attending a neighborhood school and another one in an elite or private school—which can be reduced or eliminated by affirmative action policies or by government grants or subsidies.
Covid-19 has exposed the mathematical entropy between those who can afford to study from home and those without a computer or internet connection.

The sinking feeling of walking out of an exam room, following a not-so-successful maths exam

When censors from a Department of Education in a state rejected submitted math textbooks from major publishers because their “woke” authors had allegedly tried to indoctrinate children with critical race theory, foreign problem-solving strategies, and multicultural math topics, when in actual fact these math titles contain real-life problems that would help hone students’ problem-solving skills, compared to artificially canned questions of traditional publishers with whom they have a vested interest in—when politics and profits triumph over pedagogy and proficiency.
Last week, with the blessing of their state governor, diehard math educators in Florida carried out a mathematical insurrection against a number of educational publishers for subtly including Common Core pedagogies on top of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) elements in their textbooks.

The attempting of logical reasoning whilst under the influence of high grade sensi. The subject may be under the illusion s/he can attempt to work out a highly ambitious problem but will often end up forgetting the original problem before working out the solution. In other common cases of Lean Mathematics, highly simple calculations like working out percentages or adding round numbers are often wrongly executed.
i. Shabazz was in licked out of his head in the back of Icky’s M3 and was attempting lean mathematics by trying to figure out how much profit he could make if he bought two 9bars and sold 1.3grams for £10 each. Reason was he wanted his own M3 and it would take him too long with the wage he got working in his fathers newsagents. After 20minutes trying to work it out with the sound of 2pac pumping in the background, he totally forgot what he was thinking about and instead though about what colour he wanted his car in (matt black or ice white).
ii. Mams went into kababworld at 4am and spent 10minutes using lean mathematics to try and work out if he had enough to buy the 3 kababs and 2 nourishments he wanted and got it completely wrong when he got to the till. He didn’t care though as he still had some green left to bun after he’d consumed his munchies

Dirac mathematics is the discrete foundation of computer science.
It argues that if you lop off a portion of a circle with the line from one point of the cut to the other side of the cut in the circle being a-straight-line basically an arc-tangent-length the number points in the "lop" can be, qualitatively, discrete, infinite, or irrational.
If the circle is cut above-but-parallel-to the diameter the draw-distance of the points extracted from the cut portion will be discrete. If the circle is cut BELOW the diameter-halfway point--the line created from the number of points will have an IRRATIONAL draw-distance.

Dirac mathematics demarcates a corresponding draw-distance based on whether a circle is cut above or below the line of diameter. A cut at the diameter corresponds to an infinite draw-distance using the number of points (infinite) in the cut.
A cut above the diameter corresponds to a statistical inference; a cut AT the diameter (1/2 point) corresponds to CAUSATION.
A cut below the diameter-line corresponds to a regression--scientifically meaningless.
