math models

A high school level class in which the pupils consist of those on sports teams, the highly apathetic, those who "have one last chance to pass a class before we send your ass to jail," and senior year white kids wishing to recieve grades for napping.

With a loose curriculum focusing on how to write checks and ask for an IRS form, it is a veritable university for the latest insults and obtuse slang.

I was going to eat the weed cookie in math models, but Mookie saw it and took it from me at gun point while the teacher laughed at me and called me a bitch.

Political Math

Word problems with a political or social agenda, which often reveals racial, religious, or societal divisions, or which exposes discrimination or prejudice against those from a different country, continent, caste, tribe, gender, lifestyle, race, religion, or belief.

Two political math classics in the recreational math literature, which condones bigotry and racism are:
1. A Turkish bath has 30 visitors in a day. The fee for Jews is 3 dirhams, for Christians 2 dirhams, and for Muslims 1/2 dirham. Thirty dirhams were earned by the bath. How many Christians, Jews, and Muslims attended?
2. A sinking ship must cast off passengers to survive. There are 15 Christians and 15 Turks aboard. The captain, himself a Christian, arranges the passengers in a circle where every ninth person will be thrown overboard. How should he make the arrangement so that the Christians survive?

Chili Math

Fiendish math questions that are likely to get someone mentally constipated, or to make them feel logically disgusted, if they attempt to solving them without any formal training or preparation.

Like olympiad math, chili math should be introduced only to mathematically precocious kids lest the questions prove logically repugnant to immature or young minds.
