Misleading Math
Here’s how math can be two-faced. Well, actually there’s a mistake in the proof, but it still looks neat.

Hi, everyone! Welcome back to your FAVORITE site. I haven’t heard from my site administrator in over a month, so it looks like the only upgrades to this site will be my comments and posts, so our topic for today is “Peace with Math.”
Yes, you too can have peace with math. It’s easy.
JUST DON’T DO MATH! Y’know those shirts that say, “Just do it!”? Well, just don’t do it in this case. Hehehe.
Sorry I’ve not written lately. If I should happen to lapse again, feel free to leave your own comments.
I wish math had a face, ’cause if it did, I’d punch it right in the nose today. Math makes me so mad I could scream. In fact, I think I’ll scream right now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
This stinks. I might actually have to study more math in order to maintain a suitable job. I swore I’d never take another math class, but it looks like I might have to eat my words. More later after I do a bit of spy work to figure out what’s up in my workplace.
…Don’t Panic!
I’m upgrading website. The software was waaaaaaaaay out of date and needed updating. The software was updated and the theme had to be updated. I have to customize the theme to get it back to what it was.
I will get you back to your regularly scheduled Isle of Math, soon.
– Your mathematically challenged, Admin.
Yes, now I hate it on myspace.com too. You can go there and see me, Kiele Takeuchi, at myspace.com.
My myspace profile. It’s the same as my name–kieletakeuchi.
There you can read chapters 1-3 of The Isle of Math for free! Feel free to make all the comments you want. Or leave me a message or something.
Or maybe it should be called the Math Hater Club or the Math is Evil Club. Anyway, I just signed an I hate math petition. Go here to sign away your hatred. I’ll grandfather all these current members into the Math Haters Club.

A quick search just showed The Isle of Math in over 130 bookstores in six countries: USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Germany. It looks like math is just as notorious in other parts of the world as well.
