Mathematical Nap

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

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.

Mathematical Toughies

A term for brain-unfriendly or challenging math questions that generally evoke panic and fear, which may also be accompanied by recurring nightmares, among math-anxious or mathophobic students, parents, and teachers—the opposite of “mathematical slowies.”

For most educated folks, who lack the intelligence or training to solving math contests and olympiad questions, these mathematical toughies are off-putting or repugnant to them.

Matherapy

When indulging in some math-related activity or project could serve as a powerful wellness practice, be it reading a pop or recreational math book, or solving some math puzzles or trickies, or philosophizing about simple or abstract math concepts or proofs.

Prescribing matherapy to her patients—even to those who’d had a negative experience of school math, or who’d called themselves a “nonmath person”—Dr. Janice is encouraged by their high healing success rate—no side effects as a result of zero prescription of medication and pseudoscientific therapies.

Mathematical Do-ness

Forcing or motivating yourself to DO-ing some math to beat your daily laziness, especially if you are glued or addicted to your cell phone or digital device for an unhealthy number of hours every day.

Some mathematical do-ness activities that could help white-collar workers break away from their sedentary lifestyle are:

Walk exactly 6789 steps.

Create an origami geometric shape out of the newspaper.

Learn to do calculus—differentiate and integrate—with a soroban (Japanese abacus).

Count the number of ballpoint pens in your house.
