Girl Math

An illogical reasoning and justification to making an unnecessary purchase used primarily by women.

When someone wants to purchase something, this purchase often being more than they should make, they will make illogical reasoning to justify the purchase, this reasoning is known as "girl math." There is reasoning behind the "girl math," but the reasoning is strongly biased towards the impulsive desires of the user to make the purchase and isn't very logical when taking everything into account from the person's income, to the cost of the purchase, to the necessity of the item.

Some examples of "girl math" are:
- Someone says "I made sixty dollars today!" when they bought something discounted for $440 that was usually $500.
- When buying $300 shoes, "it's less than a dollar a day if I wear them for a year." This "girl math" is commonly used as marketing in product advertisements as well.
- When returning an item, "I made an extra $120 today," followed by immediately going to the store to spend all of it because it was extra money.
- When purchasing something from the store, "it's free because I'm using cash." The reasoning coming from the fact that the purchase won't effect the person's funds in their bank account.

math

One of the core disciplines within science. The major fields within mathematics are algebra, analysis, number theory, topology, geometry, combinatorics, and logic. Math is concerned with structure, space, change, and quantity.
Mathematics requires much rigor for writing proofs. Most people are only introduced to mathematics that does not require such rigor. Mathematics is extremely influential in many fields, and, without it, modern society would not be the same - it would be less advanced.
It is only two weeks into the term that, in a calculus class, a student raises his hand and asks: "Will we ever need this stuff in real life?" The professor gently smiles at him and says: "Of course not - if your real life will consist of flipping hamburgers at MacDonald's!"

math club

The greatest club known to mankind. Those that are fortunate enough to become involved get to participate in regional, statewide, and even national competitions. The mathletes compete against other dorks (yes, we are completely aware that we're dorks) and spend Saturdays with a calculator and pencil as their closest companions. Great friends are made through math club, and there are dire consequences for any negativity regarding this extracurricular. Many math clubs have morning practices, in which the mathletes have a chance to show their devotion by waking up early to do math before school starts.
From "Mean Girls:"
Cady: I think I'm joining the Mathletes.
Regina: No! No, no. You cannot do that. That is social suicide. DAMN! You are so lucky you have us to guide you.
(In reality, Regina has no idea what the true meaning of math club is or mathletes, in this instance)

I am SO excited to wake up at 6 am on a Saturday for math club! (note the lack of sarcasm)
