Urbanly Mathematical

Regularly contributing entries with a mathematical flavor to make up for the dearth of math words or terms on Urban Dictionary, which represent a drop in a sea of obscene, racist, and irreligious vocabulary.

Ian is a serial math contributor to Urban Dictionary, with six hundred-odd entries so far—indeed, he's urbanly mathematical, or maybe just "mathematically wordy," to say the least.

alt-left math

Traditional math questions alt-right politicians blame for their bad or negative influence on students, which create math anxiety or instill the fear factor in them.

In most cases, semi-numerate politicians themselves are clueless how to solve these alt-left math questions, who often attribute the high innumeracy rate among certain racial or religious groups to pure laziness and poor study habits.

Mathematical Typhoon

A cyclone or hurricane that is named after a famous mathematician—like math, its presence never fails to instill fear in the general population.

Stand-back-stand-by Math

When President Trump repealed the “leftish” Common Core Math, approved by President Obama, with zero idea how to replace it with a better “rightish” math curriculum to help millions of US students compete internationally in math—he just wants to pacify opponents of the “left curriculum,” whose children can’t cope with it, in exchange for their votes.

Does the stand-back-stand-by math sound like some curricular or mathematical equivalent of the repeal-and-replace Obamacare? If politics over math could increase the odds of getting the president re-elected, the risks are worth taking.
