Out-of-Bounds Calculus

Unexpected or surprising examples, interesting problems, and clever proofs on calculus that are often counterintuitive or paradoxical—the oddities that most math students are seldom exposed to during their calculus lessons.

Be it a continuous function whose graph possesses a tangent at no point, or a continuous function that has infinitely many maxima and minima on a finite interval, or a shape that has finite area but infinite perimeter, these examples of out-of-bounds calculus seldom fail to trigger an aha! reaction among math geeks.

Cryptmas

A frightening or undesirable state of mind people find themselves in prior to Christmas—for instance, they might unfairly be made redundant so that their companies could save on salaries and year-end bonuses.

Sanitation engineers at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco were handed a cryptmas letter informing them that they were fired sans retrenchment benefits, because robots would be taking over their wallet-unfriendly jobs.

Covid the 19th

A more respectable title Ms. Corona’s lawyers wanted WHO to use rather than Covid-19 in recognition of her lethal power in inflicting pain and suffering to millions of people globally, especially vis-à-vis those whom she felt gracious enough not to end their lives prematurely.

If the world continues to casually call her “Covid” or “Corona” instead of formally addressing her as “Covid the 19th,” Princess Corona threatens to mutate into the deadlier Covid-20, which could send most of the earthlings to the fearful side of eternity sooner than later.

COVID-(19+X)

The next pathogen that could decimate humanity if mankind is not preparing for it, which is predicted to hit the world X years after COVID-19.

With the ravages caused by Covid-19, astrologists, biblical numerologists, and epidemiologists are hell-bent to predict, divine, or model when COVID-(19+X) would occur.
