Naked Pi

Exposing the mysteries, magic, and myths about the number π to an oft-innumerate or semi-mathophobic lay public, who secretly desire to gain an understanding or appreciation of the beauty, ubiquity, and utility of mathematics’ most famous constant.
Prof. Ian recently revised and updated “Naked Pi,” which is presently available for sale only on the dark web, because part of the book’s mature or woke content might not go well with a conservative or puritan audience.

Xianity

The religion of Donald J. Trump and his ultra-MAGA patriots, where X is a spiritual unknown—an unspoken health-and-wealth gospel that is often associated with a mélange of white racism or supremacism and faux Christianity.
Believers of Xianity are lured to the gospel teachings of Hannity and Tucker on Fox News, while the hardcore believers, who’re obsessed with the white population being outbred by immigrants, Mohammedan migrants, and refugees, would get their daily spiritual feeding on OANN and NewsMax.

π success

A geekspeak term for “50% success”—indirectly referring to the angle measure of a semicircle being π radians or 180 degrees.
For simple-minded persons, “π success” would sound like a cool way to mean “3.14% success,” but not so for symbol-minded Martians.

Pi Posture

When you meditate on the number π through all five senses, by disconnecting from the use of all technology with screens—only a pen and paper allowed, if need be—in the hope of experiencing an aha!
Going barefoot, being naked or/and blindfolded, and wearing a mask are some recommended frames of mind for those who are serious enough to put themselves in a pi posture.

Palmematics

When the lines and curves on someone’s palm are expressed as an equation or formula—they often resemble popular curves that are linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic.
The 8-year-old boy’s knowledge of palmematics impressed his mathematician father, who wondered whether he might have blessed with a precocious son.

Covid-♟

When chess became a game of choice among millions of people worldwide, when they were on quarantine or lockdown—when online chess also became a popular extra-curricular activity for thousands of home-jailed students and their teachers.
Guesstimate how many millions of people were spared mental or psychological breakdown thanks to Covid-♟ during the weeks-long Covid-19 lockdown.
