Mathematical Sabbath

One day in a week when you abstain from any mathematical activity—no preparing, no problem solving or posing, no marking—to give the left part of your brain a day off, while inviting the right part to take over.

Your mathematical sabbath could prove to be the most productive day of the week, as you let your logical mind recover and reenergize from a hectic week.

Mathematical Asylum

When people apply to become permanent residents or citizens of another country, because they continually face job discrimination from both local and foreign employers, or from their own elitist government—the good jobs are given to those who were born or blessed with the “mathematical gene.”

Like millions of asylum seekers from developing countries and theocratic states, who fear discrimination for being gay or a woman in their country of origin, what are the chances that in a-not-too-distant future, math-anxious or mathematically challenged folks might also apply for mathematical asylum to live in some anti-multicultural or anti-woke societies?

Milk Math

When a person combines milk of one percentage with milk of another in order to create milk with a lower fat content.

"Dude, I hate the way 1% milk tastes but I'm watching my weight. So I did some milk math and mixed 1% and 2% to get 1 1/2%. It's not as good as 2% milk, but it's better than 1%."

Ex-Math

The logical study and application of basic mathematical principles to deduce when your significant other was last with their ex-boyfriend or girlfriend.

While founded in the scientific theory, ex-math should not be considered for a major field of study as the process is often characterized by the absence of objective and rational thought.

Girlfriend: "I wondered after I left about the age you said you were when you were with XX so I put everything in a calendar. You said you were 24 so that was a couple of months before me? :-) sorry. I try not to be curious about stuff as that is typically not a good thing. But I wondered it and so I'm just...um..saying that I was curious."

Boyfriend: "Well if you're going to use ex-math, put it on a Chinese calendar. That way I haven't been with her since last year. Does that make you feel better?"

DJ Mathematics

A genius of the sick beats and the turntables that produce them.
Her beats are so fresh, she sells them at the Sunday market.
She emits strange growling sounds when angry, and is best known for her trademark 'fingers-in-the-air' victory dance.

Isa: Hey, whats that growling noise?

Dan: I think it's DJ Mathematics

Isa: It sounds like a raccoon

DJ Mathematics: rrrrooooo

Bank Math

A method of financial management that involves rounding any transaction up to the next dollar amount. Bank math prevents any overdrafting of bank accounts because the amount remaining in the account is always more than you believe it to be.

Let's see, the burger is $4.79, and the fries are $2.19. So quick Bank Math, that's like $8, and I have $15 in my account, so I should have $7 left for tonight.
