n.
1) A mind-altering form of logic and proof, practiced and developed largely by nerds and geeks, having its origins in prehistory. That study of logic in which simple ideas such as number, line, point or symmetry are used and combined to describe the properties of number, point, line, plane and symmetry.
Subjects within a modern mathematics degree might include selected topics from;
Number Theory: the analysis of why not all numbers are like the number 1.
Calculus: Differential calculus is the study of how to find the slope of a single point while integral calculus is the study of how to add up infinite quantities of numbers and obtain a single finite number as a result.
Topology: The study of how coffee cups are actually quite similar to doughnuts.
Mathematics as a form of mental kung fu is used extensively in all the sciences and in business and trade, it is at the heart of all technical progress. The average person uses mathematics, for example, to locate bargains in shopping malls by simply looking at a few numerals on a price tag.

Hey Cuthberton, did I tell you that I used some kickass zen master mathematics to calculate which mathgirl I would ask out to the science fair?

Get the mathematics mug.Guy 1: How many beers have I got?
Guy 2: You've got 2. You drunk 2
Guy 1: But I had 4
Guy 2: I know. you drank 2, and you've got 2 left
Guy 1: So there's 2 empty ones left, and 2 unempty ones?
Guy 2: What the hell is unempty?
Guy 3: XD I fucking love beer mathematics

Get the Mathemartist mug.A math educator who approaches a question or problem from a new angle, by not thinking outside the box, but throwing out the box entirely, to increase their chances of experiencing an aha!
Be it trying to think about a wicked problem from a rogue leader’s viewpoint (like Trump, Putin, or Kim) and see what pops up; or self-imposing a set of rules and a time limit to focus on the issue; or reading the Bible and praying in the Spirit, is what some mathematical weirdos would playfully do to tackle their problem.

Get the Mathematical Weirdo mug.The atheistic viewpoint that numbers and geometric shapes don’t exist but are man-made—they are mere human constructs or abstractions that are often used as imperfect tools to make sense of the physical universe, be it for modeling or predicting purposes.
No one has control over numbers outside of their minds; no one can draw a perfect circle or square; solving all those oft-impractical word problems at best shows a certain degree of algorithmic or algebraic proficiency. Are these limitations, imperfections, or formulations mere instances of mathematical nihilism?

Get the Mathematical Nihilism mug.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.
