Declarative Mathematics

Something Matthew Thomas made up to try to win an argument with his wife.

Not actually a real form of mathematics.
Infinity! The multiplication is implied because I used declarative mathematics.

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 Slowies

Non-trick or non-tricky math questions that you can do at your snail’s pace without worry or fear of having to sit for any killer test or exam—they are recommended for self-confessed folks who pride themselves of being “hopeless at math,” or not being born with the “math gene.”
Mathematical slowies are the opposite of “mathematical quickies,” which are generally solved with some insight, and often accompanied by an occasional aha! reaction.
