Onto Mathematics

School of thought which addresses the "something-from-nothing" conundrum.

Based on the corollary of Tarskian area.

Ontological mathematics.

Onto mathematics explains that something appears from nothing because the area of same-discrete lines is two TIMES the area of the volume which encompasses them.

In other words: lines have area.

Growth Mindset in Mathematics

The idea that math educators should focus on effort rather than on results—that failure is part of the success equation, because a set of false starts, failures, and frustrations are often necessary or unavoidable before someone could experience some degree of mathematical progress or achievement.

To fail is no shame, but failure to try again often is. A growth mindset in mathematics is to try or fail again, while failing better or faster each time.

Mathematics

A word to make you sound smarter, much more smarter than all of the lesser people who say math.

Friend: Hey, do you have math class?
Me: You mean mathematics?
Friend: It's the same thing.
Me: No it's not.

mathematical plateau

It's the state of zen you reach as a mathematician / math enthusiast where formerly you 100% loved math, and now you currently hate it. This gives you a greater view of the mathematical landscape, because you're no longer over-studying, so the brain has ample time to recharge, and you learn quicker!

I've reached the mathematical plateau, fellow mathematicians. The view from here is nice.

Mathematical Nap

When the aftermath of overworking with too much x's and y's make someone zzz when they doze or nod off.

Prof. Ziz’s mild snore got some mean colleagues take a shot of him having a mathematical nap, which was suspected to be filled with ƶ, ƶ², …, √ƶ, ℤ.
