Native Math

A math theorem, formula, or method that originates from a particular country—for example, a deductive proof in plane geometry is unmistakably Greek, while a visual proof has a Chinese or Indian flavor.

In this age of regional or international collaboration among members of the mathematics community, when co-authoring a journal article often involves contributors of different nationalities, we can only expect native math to be the odd one in a sea of even hybrids.

Bat Math

Brain-unfriendly or fiendish math questions that leverage on the public’s mixed attitude vis-à-vis the oft-feared bat, which has so far received bad publicity or negative press in the aftermath of unproven claims that it was the vector for the coronavirus pandemic.

Two examples of bat math are:
a) Today is Friday the 13th. Trump’s spiritual guide recommends that he should drink the blood of a bat 666 days from today to live a "normal” life free from nightmares and demonic attacks. What day of the week would he perform that dreaded ritual?
b) Given that 🦠 + 🦇= 76 and 🦠 × 🦇 = 19, what is the value of 1/🦠 + 1/🦇?
Answers: a) Saturday b) 4.
