Growth Mindset in Mathematics

The idea that math educators should focus on effort rather than on results—that failure is part of the success equation, because a set of false starts, failures, and frustrations are often necessary or unavoidable before someone could experience some degree of mathematical progress or achievement.

To fail is no shame, but failure to try again often is. A growth mindset in mathematics is to try or fail again, while failing better or faster each time.

mathematical plateau

It's the state of zen you reach as a mathematician / math enthusiast where formerly you 100% loved math, and now you currently hate it. This gives you a greater view of the mathematical landscape, because you're no longer over-studying, so the brain has ample time to recharge, and you learn quicker!

I've reached the mathematical plateau, fellow mathematicians. The view from here is nice.

Premalcastic Mathematics

Premalcastic is a type of mathematical language, which contains elements of; Differential Calculus , Quantum Logic and Probability Theory, Advanced Statistics (complex multivariate relationships), Abstract Algebra, and Mathematical psychology. the form of the notations is radically different to algebra or calculus, it resembles Mandarin (Chinese) and Arabic flowing top to bottom like Japanese writings but compressed together so it very tight. For a beginner it's extremely hard to read. It's primary application is to predict the exact outcome of any event, secondary is to solve highly complex mathematical problems. I will try to add an image of what the mathematic language looks like, to give a clearer idea.

I used Premalcastic Mathematics, to figure out that when that woman across the street picks up a pen someone dropped which will set off a series of events, that will result in a car crashing into this structure, causing that man on top to fall, exactly here on this very spot. So, I've placed this mattress exactly here, to save the man's life when he falls. Look the lady is picking up the pen, now. there goes the man exiting the store almost bumps into her, and the cyclist has to swerve to miss the man but bumps into the power line worker, who trips and knocks over a can of nails, that cause the car's tyre to pop, making the car swerve and hit the scaffold structure, where the man falls and lands on the mattress I just placed there a few minutes ago wasn’t that lucky.. No its not luck, it's mathematics. You just need to use Premalcastic Mathematics to solve the many possible outcomes, to determine that this is exactly where the man would fall.

Mathematic Art

A drawing created during math clas.

Person 1: woah! Sick drawing dude.
Person 2:thanks! It's my favourite mathematic Art I've ever created

Declarative Mathematics

Something Matthew Thomas made up to try to win an argument with his wife.

Not actually a real form of mathematics.

Infinity! The multiplication is implied because I used declarative mathematics.

Mathematical Fraud

One who has achieved far beyond what his average or below-average mathematical intelligence could allow him to do, by lying, bullshitting, scheming, pretending, or backstabbing—the mathematical equivalent of a racist-rapist-turned-fraud-felon who got elected, rejected, and reelected despite all the odds against him.

Guesstimate how many mathematical frauds make it bigly in the publishing industry worldwide every year.

Mathematics emperor

The Math Emperor, whose real name is Ge Jun, is known for giving out many difficult questions that almost unable to solve by human beings in Chinese Gaokao with his team.
Ge Jun, currently the president of the affiliated middle school of Nanjing Normal University, called him "Mathematics Emperor" on the Internet, and the candidates dubbed him "Uncle Ge". According to the candidates, the proposition is quite difficult and requires candidates to have strong logical thinking ability and comprehensive ability to analyze problems. The questions attracted the hot discussion of many candidates and parents in the form of their high difficulty, and quickly became popular on the Internet.

Later, Ge Jun clarified that he was only involved in making the exam questions in Gaokao in Jiangsu Province , China.

Student 1: Who made the fucking difficult questions in the math exam?
Student 2: Definitely the Mathematics Emperor, no doubt!
