Precalculus

A euphemistic term for a course study on middle-school and high-school algebra and trigonometry for those who have to read calculus, or who have flunked their calculus before—a prerequisite for those who sign for STEM modules in college.
Without precalculus, the chances of someone graduating with a STEM degree are quasi-zero.

Wage Precarization

The systematic process by which wages are rendered increasingly unstable, unpredictable, and insufficient—transforming employment from a reliable source of livelihood into a constant source of anxiety. Wage precarization operates through multiple mechanisms: the replacement of salaried positions with hourly work, the elimination of guaranteed hours, the proliferation of zero-hour contracts, the outsourcing of scheduling to algorithms that optimize for unpredictability, and the deliberate maintenance of wages at levels that require constant supplementation through additional jobs. The result is not just poverty but the experience of poverty as permanent uncertainty—never knowing what next week's check will bring, never able to plan, never safe.
Wage Precarization Example: "Her wage changed every week based on 'demand,' her schedule was released the night before, her income fluctuated so wildly she couldn't budget—not just low pay, but Wage Precarization, the transformation of wages themselves into sources of uncertainty."

Job Precarization

The systematic transformation of employment itself into a source of permanent uncertainty and risk. Job precarization operates through the elimination of stable positions, the proliferation of temporary contracts, the outsourcing of permanent roles to gig platforms, the at-will erosion of job security, and the normalization of constant turnover. Unlike traditional unemployment (a temporary state), job precarization makes precarity the permanent condition: you always have a job, but you never have security—the job could disappear tomorrow, be algorithmically eliminated, be outsourced to someone cheaper, be redesigned to make your skills obsolete. The job itself becomes precarious, not just the worker.
Job Precarization Example: "He had worked there for seven years, but with at-will employment, constant restructuring, and the threat of outsourcing, he'd never felt secure—not unemployment, but Job Precarization, the transformation of long-term employment into permanent uncertainty."
