The branch of mathematics that is applied when working on convoluted theories of everything and hipster sums, such as string theory and the P = NP problem, respectively. Mathematicians and Scientists who work within the field of Mushroom Mathematics employ a number of techniques, including, but not limited to: pulling Greek letters out of a hat, pin the equation on the blackboard, spin the number-wheel, and automatic writing. Typically, numerous narcotics will also be used to aid in the 'calculations'. These include magic mushrooms, LSD, and cannabis.
Proponents of Mushroom Mathematics include Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku.

"I decided to work within the field of Mushroom Mathematics, due to my lack of proficiency in regular mathematics, particularly drawing triangles and counting."

Person 2: "Supposed to be infinite, sounds logical"
Person 1: "Wrong, it's -1, at least according to p.acid number systems of measurement"
Person 2: "What the fuck?!"

Get the Advanced Mathematics mug.The raison-d’être for mathematics, not its applications and oft-long-winded or tedious proofs—because there is no place in the universe for ugly math.
What is beauty in mathematics? Being awed by beautiful patterns? Experiencing the pleasure or aha! feeling that transcends sexual bliss? What the heck is it?

Get the Beauty in Mathematics mug.When a math educator is thrilled to discover that some his fellow mathematical brethren are also gay—what a relief for him to stop feeling like an odd in a sea of evens.
Since Dave experienced his gay moment in mathematics last summer, he's been invited by his fellow mathematicians to speak at their clandestinely held "Gay Topology" conference.

Get the Gay Moment in Mathematics mug.A cute sounding phrase, which is 99.99% bullshit, that is used to justify the high royalties demanded by half-baked math authors in academia, or the high fees charged by most overrated textbook math consultants or general editors (who are notorious in giving cosmetic feedback to a manuscript).
Educational publishers in Singapore reluctantly give in to trickle down mathematics, hoping to increase the odds of their approved textbooks to be adopted by more local schools, by displaying as many PhDs on their book covers.

Get the Corey Ott Mathematics mug.The attempting of logical reasoning whilst under the influence of high grade sensi. The subject may be under the illusion s/he can attempt to work out a highly ambitious problem but will often end up forgetting the original problem before working out the solution. In other common cases of Lean Mathematics, highly simple calculations like working out percentages or adding round numbers are often wrongly executed.
i. Shabazz was in licked out of his head in the back of Icky’s M3 and was attempting lean mathematics by trying to figure out how much profit he could make if he bought two 9bars and sold 1.3grams for £10 each. Reason was he wanted his own M3 and it would take him too long with the wage he got working in his fathers newsagents. After 20minutes trying to work it out with the sound of 2pac pumping in the background, he totally forgot what he was thinking about and instead though about what colour he wanted his car in (matt black or ice white).
ii. Mams went into kababworld at 4am and spent 10minutes using lean mathematics to try and work out if he had enough to buy the 3 kababs and 2 nourishments he wanted and got it completely wrong when he got to the till. He didn’t care though as he still had some green left to bun after he’d consumed his munchies
