voodoo math
Letters, numbers, and/or symbols that seemingly appear out of no where in relation to given mathematical context.
voodoo math:
Find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface x^2z-y^3z^5+xy=9 at the point P=(1,2,-1).
answer:
Tangent plane at P is z+1=1/3(y-2) or equivalently y-3z=5

A Mask for Math
When the effort or resourcefulness of tens of thousands of math tutors in Singapore covers up most local school teachers’ poor teaching pedagogies or methodologies and their low enthusiasm or creativity, thus exonerating the latter in making the subject appear dull and boring and unconnected to real life.
If there was a months-long lockdown in Singapore due to the pandemic, except for the thousands of families who can’t afford private tuition for their children, the math grades of the majority of middle-class students wouldn’t significantly suffer, because of a mask for math culture that has permeated the entire educational system for decades.

CECA Math
When Singapore’s Opposition parties were only given a fraction of the politically charged numbers they requested from the government on the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), such as the total number of “foreign talents” from India and their family members who are presently working and living in the country, and the number of locals who benefited from the Singapore-India free trade agreement that was signed in 2005.
Singaporeans won’t lose sleep or go on strike because sensitively constipated CECA math statistics aren’t going to come out (until one day when the Opposition wins the hearts of a majority electorate)—99.99% of locals don’t need immigration figures as living proof, because they, their loved ones, or friends had seen or experienced the aftermath of this one-sided deal first-hand.
