Its Excellency the Mathemafia: An Educated Approach to the American School of Fake Mathematics

Carlos Correia de Matos

The author’s biographical note is supposed to make it pretty clear why he was led to write this book in a language almost completely foreign to his everyday world. This book is the offspring of two different states of mind; initially, in the spring of 2020, the purpose was to overcome the boresome loneliness of the confinement imposed by the widespread pandemic; and thus an argumentative essay was constructed, titled — in a rather technical style: The exact trianglature of the semicircle in the 20th century USA — and eventually uploaded, as a critical paper, on the Academia.edu internet platform. Then suddenly, last autumn, the surprising news that a pirated edition of this article was being sold in Central Europe (in Germany and Switzerland, at least) in e-book format, seemingly an auspicious omen, rang a bell: the main project was feasible.
