mathematics
n.1) A mind-altering form of logic and proof, practiced and developed largely by nerds and geeks, having its origins in
prehistory. That study of logic in which simple ideas such as number, line, point or
symmetry are used and combined to describe the properties of number, point, line, plane and symmetry. Subjects within a modern mathematics degree might include selected topics from;
Number Theory: the analysis of why not all numbers are like the number 1. Calculus: Differential calculus is the study of how to find
the slope of a single point while integral calculus is the study of how to add up infinite quantities of numbers and obtain a single finite number as a result.
Topology: The study of how coffee cups are actually quite similar to doughnuts. Mathematics as a form of mental kung fu is used extensively in all the sciences and in business and trade, it is at the heart of all technical progress. The average person uses mathematics, for example, to locate bargains in shopping malls by simply looking at a few numerals on a price tag.

An arcane discipline invented by the
ancients to ensure full employment among pointy headed professors who lack social skills to enter or succeed in any of the
social sciences, including spelling. The principal means by which this is achieved is to establish an extensive,
cascading order of complexity, such that each class is offered only as a prerequisite to the next.
Example:
Mathematics is the language of tenure. Since university administrators invariably come from more serious disciplines, they could give
a rat's what goes on in the math department, excepting, of course the math professors' occasional brush with the FBI and
kiddy porn.
She: Why am I having to take all this goddamn math?
He: To help Dr. Goldbaum enjoy lap dances down at
the truck stop.

An addictive subject, where succeeding at solving one of its problems, increases your desire to solve more and more.
But...
It is also a
depressant, where failing at solving one of its problems, gets you depressed and
lowers your brain activity causing you to

So take care people...
