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 Fraud

One who has achieved far beyond what his average or below-average mathematical intelligence could allow him to do, by lying, bullshitting, scheming, pretending, or backstabbing—the mathematical equivalent of a racist-rapist-turned-fraud-felon who got elected, rejected, and reelected despite all the odds against him.
Guesstimate how many mathematical frauds make it bigly in the publishing industry worldwide every year.

Mathematics

Legal form of torture in the shape of numbers and algebra.

Where you have to solve problems for a mean man or woman who already knows the answers.
It's as stupid as mathematics!

Mathematical Remains

Math stuff we commented about, downloaded, posted, sold, or even stole online that linger in cyberspace long after our last heartbeat—the e-books, tweets, blog posts, articles, jokes, memes, NFTs, and the like.
How much mathematical remains or remnants would you have left behind after you’d journeyed to the other side of eternity?
