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

Get the voodoo math mug.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.

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.

Get the Weapons of Math Instruction mug.An illogical reasoning and justification to making an unnecessary purchase used primarily by women.
When someone wants to purchase something, this purchase often being more than they should make, they will make illogical reasoning to justify the purchase, this reasoning is known as "girl math." There is reasoning behind the "girl math," but the reasoning is strongly biased towards the impulsive desires of the user to make the purchase and isn't very logical when taking everything into account from the person's income, to the cost of the purchase, to the necessity of the item.
Some examples of "girl math" are:
- Someone says "I made sixty dollars today!" when they bought something discounted for $440 that was usually $500.
- When buying $300 shoes, "it's less than a dollar a day if I wear them for a year." This "girl math" is commonly used as marketing in product advertisements as well.
- When returning an item, "I made an extra $120 today," followed by immediately going to the store to spend all of it because it was extra money.
- When purchasing something from the store, "it's free because I'm using cash." The reasoning coming from the fact that the purchase won't effect the person's funds in their bank account.
