Fake Math

A term used by those who know beforehand that they don’t stand a chance to pass their math test or exam unless they resort to lying, cheating, or bribery—they often blame the teacher for bias against them, practicing unfair grading, or setting unrealistic or artificial questions that are confusing and open to different interpretations.
Guesstimate how many Trumpublican students in red states every year would scapegoat fake math for their failure to get a passing grade in their middle- or high-school math paper rather than putting in the time and effort to master the math concepts.

Vice Math

Adult math questions that leverage on the activities that take place at karaoke lounges and nightclubs, which often illegally employ foreign-born hostesses to entertain both local and foreign male customers seeking some thrill they can’t get from their girlfriends and wives.
Can you solve this vice math problem? “The total number of Covid-19 cases linked to an infected KTV hostess so far is 128, who is traced to have had initial contact with two customers. Assuming that all infected patrons at the sleazy location each went on to share the virus with two other persons, what is the reproduction number R₀ for this cluster?”

Taiwan Math

Often mistaken as “China Math.” Little-known methodologies using 3D abacus and problem-solving strategies or heuristics, and non-Marxist or non-Maoist pedagogies, practiced by local non-drill-and-kill math educators in Taiwan, which are waiting to break free to enlighten the global mathematical community.
The global success of Singapore math has spurred cottage industries in math education like Shanghai Math and Korea Math, which have come and gone quietly. What about Taiwan Math considering that Taiwan is one of the four little dragons besides Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore?

public math

The inability to do simple mathematical calculations in the presence of another person or group of people.
Hey how'd your presentation go yesterday?

Not good, I gave the wrong answer when I added up some figures. I should have never made a presentation that included public math.

GPT Math

Any published or plagiarized content passing as new or novel that has been produced with the help of ChatGPT—a dark practice that is accelerating at an exponential rate among pirates in every corner of the globe, who are hoping to cash in before someone else beats them to the dirty game.
Are the days of Singapore math writers and publishers numbered with the advent of GPT math, as fake authors from India, Nigeria, and Pakistan capitalized on the wisdom of the virtual crowd to become GPTpreneurs?
