DEI Math

Short for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Math.” Math products or services that right-wing math educators and MAGA parents have chastised for their “woke” content, and have called on their lawmakers to censor them from their states to protect the young minds from “foreign indoctrination.”
Some Singapore math publishers have apparently been warned by some white Taliban curriculum censors in some red states—they need to remove pages that promote multicultural or DEI math, such as depicting Chinese, Arabic, and Hindu numerals for the numbers one to nine, or stating that the theorem named after Pythagoras was known to Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians long before the Greek numerologist was born.

Mathematical Virgin

One who has never experienced the joy (or pain) of rigorous proofs in high-school Euclidean geometry or college calculus.
Angel couldn't understand why mathematicians make such a big fuss about rigorously proving mathematical results that are intuitively obvious to her—one should forgive her for her immaturity as she's still a mathematical virgin.

Fake Math Problems

Unrealistic or nonsensical word or story problems, routine and nonroutine, that may or not be solvable—however, most of them serve to humorize, parodize, or satirize mathematics.
One question from “The Bigly Book of Fake Math Problems” is the following: “At a Trump rally, if 10 coronaviruses infect 10 diehard supporters in 10 minutes, how many of these foreign viruses will be needed to infect 100 supporters in 50 minutes?”

Otter Math

When locals’ and aliens’ mixed attitude vis-à-vis otters and their apparently manageable growing population on the “fine” city of Singapore provides a fertile ground for math educators to pose a number of brain-unfriendly questions to challenge exam-smart symbol-minded students.
Two otter math questions from a Singapore math problem solving book are:
1. At a recent otter attack at a church’s fish pond, five koi fish were swallowed up, while the remaining partially eaten fish were left with one or two eyes. From the 17 koi fish in the pond, the verger found only 16 eyes. How many koi fish lost only one eye?
2. On average, what percentage of fish in a pond get eaten by an otter family every time they terrorize a condominium located in some posh area of Singapore?

Gay Moment in Mathematics

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.
