The attempt at solving a mathematical problem by applying incorrect assumptions, inappropriate formulas, and bypassing intermidiate steps to derive an answer.
Student's Homework:
a + b = c
(4a - 3a) + (4b - 3b) = (4c - 3c)
4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c
4(a + b - c) = 3(a + b - c)
therefore, 4 = 3
Teacher:
This is mathematics, not MATHEMAGICS. Don't divide by zero.

When a math educator has emerged from their cocoon to be at zero mercy of a controlling or demanding boss, or of an oft-stifling educational system, to take charge of what they want to do in math or math education in spite of the risks and uncertainties before them.
For the large majority of teachers and tutors, procrastination or the fear of failure has prevented them from becoming the mathematical butterfly God has destined them to be.

Get the Mathematical Butterfly mug."Mathemalogical" is an adjective used to describe a type of thinking or problem-solving that combines mathematical reasoning and logical reasoning. This approach involves applying mathematical concepts and operations in a logical and systematic way to solve problems, as well as using logical reasoning to find new and innovative solutions to mathematical problems. Mathemalogical thinking requires both creative and analytical skills to approach problems from multiple angles and find efficient solutions.

Get the Fart Mathematics mug.Discreet mathematics refers to the subtle study of mathematics. Discreet mathematics is characterised by furtive looks in maths textbooks disguised as pr0n and by secret maths lectures held in abandoned warehouses at midnight.
The origins of discreet mathematics can be traced to the 19th century, where young women interested in the mathematical and scientific subjects were unable to openly pursue such studies. Instead, they disguised their math textbooks as lifestyle magazines, and talked about mathematics in a secret code, called Polari.
This became unnecessary due to the total abolition of any form of sexism at all in 1964 by the Ghost of President Kennedy.
