mathematician

The one job everyone wants you to have but no one ever does have.

Everyone: You're going to become a mathematician one day.

You: No, no I'm not.

mathletics

A sport involving competing in track and field events, such as triple jump or discus, whilst solving complex mathmatical problems.

Hey, will you be part of my mathletics relay team?

Careful with that javelin, we don't want any mathletical injuries

mathematician

A sexual act where one person (male or female) kneels at a man's side, and with the fingers of one hand probes the anus in a calculator-button pushing motion. The other hand grips the penis and strokes it in a crank handle fashion, as if he or she is operating an old-time crank-handle calculator.

Sally promised the college math professor that if she performed the mathematician on him he would shout out prime numbers at the top of his lungs.

Mathematica

A math god!

Ask it a question, and you will get an answer.

Ask it the wrong question and it will tell you how to get an answer.

Jimmy was struggling with his Calculus homework, so he asked Mathematica what the Derivative of Uranus was, and it told him yourmom^2.

Mathematical Doodles

The untapped tool that has hardly been used by oft-boring or uncreative math writers to convey difficult concepts to their lay readers—when math educators-turned-doodlers or artists-turned-math writers could disrupt math publishing such that the world’s most disliked school subject needn’t be terminal once it becomes optional.

The use of mathematical doodles could be seen as a visual version of math guides for dummies, idiots, and morons—an intersection of math, art, and creativity to raising the quantitative literacy of millions of semi-innumerate people worldwide.

Mathematical Verb

A math word or term that has graduated from noun to verb—for example, “zero,” “square,” and “number.”

Mathematical verbs, such as model, pattern, and fractal, are the mathematical equivalents of Google, Xerox, and Zoom.

Mathematical Steroid

Short-term success in math, whereby exam-smart teachers and tutors drill or spoon-feed students, by getting them to memorize modeled solutions of questions that are likely to appear in the coming examination based on previously set questions from past exam papers.

It’s not surprising that most university students in Singapore, who are reading for a degree in math, struggle with their courses because they grew up on mathematical steroids in high school.
