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.

White supremacist or extremist math educators label mathematicians and math educators, who question the distorted or fake view of the history of mathematics, or who lecture about mathematical wokeism, as “mathematically toxic”—they’d be deprived of education funding for discussing that math is racist, or for condemning centuries-long white male privilege in academia.

The mathematical fallacy 2 = 1 is a classic one, guess which step is incorrect:
Let x = y.
Multiply by x: x² = xy.
Subtract y²: x² − y² = xy − y².
Factorize: (x − y)(x + y) = y(x − y).
Divide by (x − y): x + y = y
Because x = y, replace all x's with y's: y + y = y
Simplify: 2y = y
Divide by y: 2 = 1
Did you see the incorrect step? Spoiler alert: it's the fifth one; you can't divide by (x − y), as that equals 0 (because x and y are equal), and you can't divide by zero.
