Mathematical Unicorn

A math theorem whose real-life application may be worth at least a billion bucks—a revolutionary result that could propel the applied mathematician into mathematical fame or immortality.

The Riemann hypothesis is a potential mathematical unicorn , especially in the field of e-security—whoever proves it is guaranteed both fame and wealth.

Corey Ott Mathematics

The style of math used when you multiply the answer by two and add one.

2+2=9

In regular form: 2+2=4

4 x 2=8

8 + 1=9

So, in Corey Ott Math, 2+2=9

Mathematical Masochism

When math educators want to push themselves to the limit, by being the best in their category or field, where they are willing to take enormous risks and bear the pain to be rewarded.

Recipients of the Fields medal—the mathematical equivalent of the “Nobel Prize In Mathematics”—have a penchant for mathematical masochism in order to stand out from the crowd, because these “extreme mathematicians” know that “no pain, no gain.”

Mathematically Irreverent

When someone decides to coin a math word or phrase, or to redefine an existing one, without fear of being censured, rebuked, punished, or fired.

Urban Dictionary remains the social platform of choice for mathematically irreverent writers, who just want to sexify or spice the most boring or disliked school subject for millions of students worldwide.

Mathematical Entropy

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.
