Business Math

When a country capitalizes on its brand of math education, which often incorporates the best teaching and learning practices around the world, to benefit both local and foreign math educators financially.

Singapore math is an example of a good business math model, which has made a dent in the world of mathematics education—Singapore’s math textbooks have earned both local and foreign publishers millions of dollars over the last two decades.

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.

Math Nerd

A person who loves math, and enjoys doing hard math problems for fun or for challenging him or herself. Sometimes if a person in Math Class in school that is a math nerd, may say for a assignment, "Math Rocks!" and the other people say "shut up nerd!", "Math sucks bum!", "Nerd!"

James: "Math Rocks"
Student 1: "Nerd"!
Student 2: "Bum!"
Student 3: "Math sucks nerd!"
Stduent 4: "You are retarded!"
Student 5: "Math sucks!"
James: "You guys only think math sucks cause you can't do a simple math problem!"
Student 3: "No, we just don't wanna do math problems and do other crappy stuff! We have lifes you know!"
Student 3: "Your a Math Nerd!"

discrete math

Somewhat broad category of mathematical subjects that concern discrete, rather than continuous objects. A good example of this distinction is the kind of functions you study in discrete math. Where as calculus differentiates and integrates functions defined for every value in some interval of real numbers, the kind of function examined in discrete math is often called a 'mapping', a rule that associates each members in one set with one in another. Often, these sets are finite, and so the elements are discrete, rather than continuous.

The topics addressed in a discrete math class vary, but it seems every curriculum has mathematical logic, set theory, formal proof techniques, number theory and probability. Other topics you might run into are abstract algebra (e.g., group theory), graph theory, linear programming, game theory and algorithmic complexity.

In addition to teaching students very important methods of proof and logic, discrete mathematics also gives a fun rundown of topics with a lot of practical applications.

(In the US, the median income of the few people who have the attention span and maturity to learn about things like discrete math is $81,240. True fact.)

This definition was routed to the Urban Dictionary server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's useful.

Slut Math

A math equation that decides if somebody (normally a female) can be considered slutty.

The equation is shown below:
(# of past partners) / (age - 10) = X

Possible answers:
X<1 Good girl, the kind you take home to mom.
X=1 Average, there is nothing wrong with being normal.
X>1 SLUT, fun to play with but generally crazy.

Guy 1: Rachel looks cute, but with my Slut Math skills I have determined she is a slut.
Guy 2: How did you do that?
Guy 1: Well she is 16 years old, and has slept with 18 guys. It is simple math, 18/6=3.

Guy 2: Damn dude, you're right, she is a super slut!
