Nazi Math

German math textbooks that were used during the reign of Adolf Hitler in the Second World War, whose word problems often mockingly or sickeningly demonize the “undesirables.”
One 1941 Nazi math question is: “Every day, the state spends RM 6 on one cripple; RM 4 1/2on one mentally ill person; RM 5 1/2 on one deaf and dumb person; RM 5 3/5 on one feeble-minded person; RM 3 on one alcoholic; RM 4 4/5 on one pupil in care; RM 2 1/10 on one pupil at a special school; and RM 9/20 for one pupil at a normal school. Calculate the expenditure of the state for one pupil in a special school and one pupil in an ordinary school over eight years and state the amount of higher cost engendered by the special school pupil.”

idiot math

The calculus that goes on in the mind of an idiot that leads them to make bad decisions.
P1: "Wait, what possible reason could he have had to punch that cop? There's no possible permutation stemming from that that doesn't get him arrested, or possibly worse."
P2: "You're just not doing the idiot math here. Put yourself into the mindset of a 12th century peasant and you'll understand why he made the choice he did."
P1: "I still don't understand."
P2: "If he defeats the cop, then that guy can't tell him what to do anymore. He wins in his own mind, and that's all that's important."
P1: "Oh ok, I think I understand idiot math now."

Simcoe math

A neophyte's approach to understanding financial problems using calculations that may result in a wide +/- margin of error. Generally Simcoe math is used to broadly prove a point the user is trying to make, allowing a "rough estimate" to masquerade as a definitive answer.

Named after a region in Canada famous for being satisfied with results which may only have a tenuous connection to the truth.
"Guys—I'm just doing a bit of Simcoe math here on the back of this napkin, and it looks like we have just enough cash left for another round of Warthogs!"

Tokenized Math

When math collectibles (coins & stamps, vintage puzzles & toys, out-of-print books & classics, and antique measuring instruments & calculators), math cards, urban math definitions, IMO or Fields medals, NFTs, memes, and the like can be broken up into smaller parts that can be sold individually, thus making fractional ownership of both digital or physical assets possible.
Guesstimate how much the global tokenized math business could be worth if collectors started to trade their precious assets in the metaverse.

MBA math

A management cuck with a Master of Business Administration that doesn't understand what goes on in the trenches of their organization and makes stupid calculations by not consulting with the people beneath them.
Person A: They didn't buy enough seats for software XYZ, so people keep rotating off the authorized list. A seat costs $10/user/month, but no let's make them unproductive for $300/day.
Person B: Must be that MBA math.
Person A: Haha, no kidding.
