The Geography of Math

When the mathematical proficiency or quantitative literacy of a country is linked to the location where its math curriculum was formulated—for example, both developed and developing countries that have adopted the Singapore math curriculum, or adapted part of it, have generally performed better than those that are reluctant to take the risks.

Just as the color of the cat doesn’t matter as long as it catches the mouse, so the geography of math shouldn’t be a big concern for parents and politicians if the local or foreign math curriculum could produce a quantitatively literate or numerate citizentry.

Geographism

The discrimination of someone from a certain geographical area regardless of their race and religion.

EX: Not to use geographism, but Amanda is a piece of shit because she's from "Edmonton", Calgary is clearly a superior city.

national geographic effect

The desensitizing effect of seeing brown skinned women naked in the magazine. Naked black chicks do nothing for you compared to blonds.

Yeah, she might be cute to some guy but it's like I've seen her before. It's the National Geographic Effect, man.

Geographically Convenient

Wanting to do/go something/somewhere based on how close it is it to.

This can apply to things from getting food from upstairs to being friend depending on your location.

'I dont really like Bob, but because he lives next door and is geographically convient, i go to his house a lot when i'm bored.'

'yesterday i went to Kmart instead of whole foods because its only 2 blocks away and i dont have to drive. its pretty geographically convenient'
