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?

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

Useless gibberish of an answer to a math question that somehow ends up with the right answer.

Mathematical Heresy

The myth that you can do (almost) everything with math, or that being good at math or logic is a secure ticket to financial freedom, which is absolute bull if you look at the millions of exam-smart or geeky people who love math and have excelled in the subject, yet could hardly make ends meet.
Let not mathematical heresy blind you, because your love for numbers and their relationships more often than not doesn’t pay the bills nor guarantee you a decent job.
