All right, Tyler.

We have a lot of material to go over for your exam tomorrow, so we have to focus

today, okay?

You're 18 now, so this is going to be one of your last exams before finishing

school, and you need all the studying you can get to really make it count.

Yeah, I know.

It's going to be fine. I'm here for you.

It's all good.

Let's see here.

Oh,

hey, lady. I didn't know you were here yet.

Hi. Yeah, Miss Luna, I just got here.

We're just about to get started.

Oh, excellent.

Excellent. Thank you so much for helping my stepson. The final stretch and he

could really use the help.

I do what I can.

Oh, hey, you know, I don't have anywhere to be for the next hour. Maybe I'll

just stick around and see what you guys are learning.

You could totally hang out, Mom.

Thanks.

Miss Luna, please.

I appreciate that you have such an interest in your stepson's education,

really have a lot of stuff to go over today.

Now, now, Missy.

I hired you to tutor my stepson, not to talk back to me.

Yes, Miss Luna.

Okay, Tyler, let's turn to page 12, then.

Should we start on math?

Yeah, let's do some puzzles.

Okay.

Let's start here. A number that does not have a numeric of its own.

I feel like I know that one.

Zero?

Good job, yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

This is Luna.

Tyler, I know you guys have this weird arrangement with the two of you, but do

you really have to do this now?

I'm trying to make sure that Tyler makes it to graduation like I'm being paid

to.

That's right. So hop to it.

My handsome stepson needs to be able to concentrate no matter what the

distraction is.

Okay.

Let's keep going then.

Name the old... even prime number?

Um... Prime is... What does prime mean again?

No, I think I got it. Um... Two?

Good. Good job.

Alright, let's keep going.

I'll make sure I write down which ones you get right.

so that we can go back over.

The perimeter of a circle is also called... That would be a future

Good job.

Okay, the actual net number after seven.

Net what?

The net number after seven.

Net or next?

No. It's a net number, the actual net number.

Let's go back here.

We can go back.

Okay.

So net, I guess, is another word for prime number.

So it's just prime number?

Yeah, actual net number, I guess, would be divisible by three and a half.

So I guess you want to do the math here.

Do you mind paying attention? I'm trying.

We're going to do the math here because you got this one wrong.

Actual net number after seven. So you take this. Yeah.

Divide it.

Divide it.

Come on, Tyler.

Seven, right?

Mm -hmm.

And then what would the net number be?

It's 11. Okay, 11.

Okay. That was the first one I got wrong.

Yeah, that one we got wrong, so we're going to have to go back and do that one

again.

Okay.

Don't worry, Phil.

Is it going to be on the top?

It's what's going to be on the top? That question.

Like net numbers?

Yeah. This is all going to be on your exam tomorrow.

All right. Miss Luna, he's having a little trouble.

I really think that maybe we should... Move to the couch? You're so right. We

should move to the couch. We feel much more comfortable there. Yeah, I think

No, no, no, no. We should move to the couch. If you want to bring all this

stuff, we'll meet you over there. I just can't see what's going on, I think,

over there. I honestly disagree. I think this is going to be much more...

Good for studying.

Oh, goodness. Your nipple's out. Okay.

So, you didn't even... I gave you this notebook like two weeks ago. You haven't

written anything in it?

You think we should go over there now? I really do.

Maybe if there's more space for all of us to do the things we're doing, then

maybe we'll be able to study a little bit better.

I could pay more attention.

Yeah, maybe you'll pay more attention. I won't argue with you, Miss Luna.

Come on, baby.

I'm not going to argue with you because you're cutting my chin.

Did you get everything?

Yes, I did. Thank you.

Which one are we on?

Did you study this in school?

Uh -huh.

Well, it looks familiar.

All right. We're going to go to this section right down

here. Okay.

Okay? Oh, sorry.

Let me see your little face right here.

Okay.

This is very important. for your thumb steam shirt.

That's the question, sir.

So, can you see this okay from here?

Yeah, right there.

Okay.

So, 53 by 4 is equal to... Oh, excuse me. 53

divided by 4 is equal to how much?

Won't I have a calculator on the test?

No, you're not going to learn to have a calculator on the test.

This is very rudimentary. We haven't even gotten into the really, really

difficult parts of the subject yet.

Maybe we could, like, skip that one.

Just until I can, like, write it down.

This is supposed to be our time to really...

drain and hone this in like we don't have other time unfortunately because

exam is tomorrow so we really need to do this now okay so we're gonna go here

you see it all right oh here i see him okay

luna this is good for you too okay i don't know

what's going on here okay

So 53 divided by 4. We're going to go here. You see 53

into 4.

Do you remember? Let's say that.

Well, 3 goes into 4.

No.

You're close. You're really close.

So if you say, let's just say 50 instead of 53.

Okay. Okay.

Four goes into 50.

How many times?

I'm going to have a calculator. It's going to be fine. Why don't we just go

like, a different question?

Okay, Tyler.

What section do you want to go to here?

Well, I like the first section we were doing.

Honestly, I think we should cover the things that you are not as proficient

I think I'm pretty good at everything.

Oh, my baby boy is so smart.

If he was smart, I wouldn't be here.

Not to overstep or anything.

So we're going to go over a little bit more difficult sections because we

need you to understand all this material here.

I'll just take a look at your notes.

Thanks, baby. I'll hold it for you. Thanks, Mom.

Okay.

So, the father of mathematics is... Did

you hand me the right page?

I did.

Oh, honey.

This is what we went over the first few times I was here. I'm sorry. I'm not

good at math.

It's okay. That's why I'm here.

Sorry to be a little frustrated.

So the father of mathematics is Archimedes.

Basically discovered and figured out that math is the universal language. It

really is.

Yes, it is.

Just like love.

Love is the universal language.

That's easier to remember.

Like, I love my sweet baby boy.

I love you too, love.

Oh, I'm so happy you two are so close with each other. Really great.

But unfortunately, this exam isn't about love.

Oh, too bad, because you do so well. You're so fucking smart in love.

You're always so nice to me, Mom. My good boy.

So normal.

There you go. Just remember, you've got to concentrate through anything.

Right.

You're going to pass this test, okay? I want to.

Really?

Okay,

this is an expensive college bag. Sorry, it's caught on my foot. It's okay.

Excuse me. No worries.

Alrighty, so the angle is greater than 180 degrees, but less than 360 degrees.

Am I in the way? I'm too.

Sorry.

Okay, I can move.

Is that right? I think you're right.

She's not even listening to me. I know. Gosh, what a tutor.

I think I'll just tutor you next.

I think that would be better.

I could have two.

You could have two? Yeah. Sorry, I couldn't.

I couldn't hear you. You're having trouble concentrating?

She says I'm not paying attention.

Right?

Sweetheart, I've graduated already.

This is all for you, okay?

I know.

So angle that is greater than 180 degrees.

Up to. 180 would be this. But less than full circle.

Obtuse is not quite 180 degrees.

So it would be a different answer.

Acute.

Starts with an R.

Like when the doctor hits your knee.

Let me think of that.

Here we go.

The notes from yesterday?

I don't know.

Oh,

reflex.

Good job. Good job, sweetie.

Oh, my baby boy's so smart.

Good job.

Good to know it's from yesterday.

Got to remember, because we were, you know. It was in the back of my mind. I

mean, I knew it, like.

Okay, this is why we need to go over these materials. Is it a time test?

Is he going to, like, have time to think?

Well, this test is going to be six hours.

That's a long test.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Well, I'll probably finish in like 20 minutes.

It's not a big deal. It's to graduate.

Okay.

We're going to go over existential quantifiers, okay? That

sounds hard.

This is like my worst subject.

Okay. Giuseppe Piano discovered existential quantifiers. Okay.

Giuseppe what?

Giuseppe Piano.

I believe that's how you pronounce his last name.

P -E -A -N -O.

Okay, that's going to be on your chest. Oh, yes.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, everything's great. You just keep doing your math thing.

So we have Q through R and R and X, okay?

Didn't we work on this yesterday?

We did. We're just going over everything.

starting with yesterday and we're going to go back all the way through to the

beginning of the lesson and all the lessons from this semester.

Alright,

we're going to move on to the next section here.

What come before quadrillion?

Before quadrillion?

I would start at one.

Well, that's close.

How is that wrong?

It's a very vague question, but vague questions like this are going to be on

exam. And even if I get it right, it's wrong?

Well, it's a specific right answer. You really have to use your critical

thinking skills with this.

Quadrillion, if you take the prefix.

Quad.

What would be before quad?

Hello?

One million would be before quad.

Okay, you're getting naked.

All right.

So it would be a trillion.

Trillion. Yes, because tri means three.

Quad is four.

So it would be trillion.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, sometimes, even in math, you have to use the, you know, different skills,

like the prefix or the suffix, if it's a word that you don't understand, you

know.

Okay.

Here's an easy one for you.

Which day is Pi Day?

You should know this one. It's my birthday.

March 14th. There you go. Good job.

Good job, sweetie.

Happy birthday, Mom. Happy birthday.

How could I not?

So let's have you turn to page 47 for this one here.

47? Yes.

Do you remember when I went over the contour integral sign with you two weeks

ago?

Can you refresh my mind?

Okay, we were out in the back. Well, not where, but, like, what does it mean?

Okay.

I thought if I, you know, refreshed your memory in a different way, maybe that

would help.

So let me see your book.

It's nice and warm now.

Like from the microwave.

Yay.

Contour integral signs.

Arnold Thelma Field discovered this and we got some quantifier questions here

right now for you.

If you want to take a look over here.

So we got quantifier practice drill.

A into B.

A into C.

Over.

B divided by C.

There you go.

And then D into I.

And then D into P.

Yeah, D into P.

Let's do number four.

K.

K.

K into L.

L into N equals N into M.

And then what would be?

It would be nothing. Yeah, it cancels out, right? Exactly.

Good job.

It cancels out.

That's an

interesting

sound.

The sound of knowledge.

Knowledge.

The sound of knowledge. Okay,

let's move on to the next section.

Okay, we're going to go to lesson four.

All right, I see you took some notes on this section. That's great.

Okay.

Are we done? Are you ready? No, we're moving on to the next section. I'm just

waiting on...

Confirm that you're ready?

I'm fine.

I mean, I've been studying all day.

Good study.

She doesn't believe me much.

I know.

Don't worry. It's the last day I have to deal with her.

Tomorrow's check. You're going to do great.

I hope he doesn't make you a very special dinner.

If he doesn't, then he doesn't graduate.

He's going to have to repeat.

I can't repeat.

A year twice.

I did that last year.

Well, it'll be the third time.

Well, that means don't they pretty much just let you go after that?

No, you repeat the course until you pass.

Seriously?

If this is the job that you really want to, you know, a statistician, you have

to be good at math.

You do want to be a statistician, right? Yes, give me the paper, please.

Okay, don't need to be.

I'm just trying to do my job here, you know.

You're doing a great job, Amy.

Thank you, Mrs. Luna.

That means a lot because this is very hard.

Hard to study.

Which one are we on now?

We're going to go into section five here.

Go past section four altogether.

Okay.

Picture.

So we're going to go into primary and secondary structures.

Okay.

We're going to actually go into some reading comprehension here.

So with the secondary structures, we're going to look at cause and effect.

We're going to look at some examples, do some questions and answers.

I love that.

Okay.

And then the primary structures.

We're going to go through your thesis, your antithesis, and your synthesis.

Very wet.

In addition to

recognizing the primary structures,

the blueprint method also identifies the number of secondary structures.

Oh, no.

Secondary to you, baby.

You know. Does that feel good, Mom? Yeah, it does.

Oh, I can't breathe.

I'm going to need those.

Just take those from you. That was you from that? Uh -huh.

Hi.

Um,

you seem like you're a little bit more, you know, I

feel like you're kind of at a loss here. I don't really know.

What to do?

So let's just keep going, I guess.

So here, 9n is equal to 108.

What is 108?

Okay.

Really jumping all over the place here.

We'll be trying to get closer to you so we can study.

Perfect.

I'll just give this to you here.

Okay.

All right.

Which number is considered a magical number?

I'm thinking of a number. Mom, are you?

Okay, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.

Okay, what is it? I'm thinking like 69. It's pretty magical. Oh, that is pretty

magical.

69.

Is that it?

No, it's not.

Funny innuendo.

The magical number is nine, so you got one of those numbers right.

Good job, honey.

But unfortunately, 69 and nine are two different answers.

Do I get half points for that?

Unfortunately, no.

With these kinds of exams, they are all or nothing. So you either get the

question right or you get it wrong.

All my years of tutoring.

You're a very good mother to your son.

Gotta say that. That mother.

True.

Okay.

Oh, that's so good to meet you.

Oh,

the magic square.

Since we're speaking of magic numbers, let's go to the magic.

Where it originated.

Let's see here.

Oh, just like that, sweetie.

Magic square originated in China.

Ancient China. Oh, yeah.

That's good.

Can you see back there? Yes.

We were just talking about, um, what's his name?

Albert Einstein.

The Pi Day guy. Close.

We were actually talking about ancient China.

That's not really close.

Yeah. But it's okay.

The magic number and the magic square, it all originated in ancient China.

We were actually one of the first people to really, uh...

Go into advanced mathematics like this.

So everything comes back to that.

Okay.

Okay.

Y 'all are really getting into it. Okay.

Ah, here we go. I just love math so much.

Okay, the symbol of infinity, okay, what does infinity mean?

Larger, there's larger infinities, there's smaller infinities.

Well, you said basically, but you just said like they're not going to count

basically.

True.

Basically, infinity can be everything.

It can also be nothing.

There's many different ways of interpreting.

But it's everything and nothing?

Yeah. Wow. No wonder you're set up for failure at these schools. I don't know

what they're teaching you. Well, it's abstract.

You know, infinity is... Yeah, the math is pretty abstract, apparently.

This is a really advanced stuff here.

The most popular lucky number between 1 and 9. Let's do something easy.

Most popular lucky number?

Uh -huh.

Well, for me, it's 8.

You were close. You started with the right letters. Seven? Yeah, there you

That's not really my most lucky number.

Well, it's the most popular lucky number.

I'm not sure why this one's in place, though.

Okay,

here's another more statistical.

How many seconds are there in one day?

Oh, gosh.

Um, like thousands?

Thousands, yeah. Right?

You've got to be right.

Yeah, so if you take, let's see here, 60 seconds per minute, how many minutes in

a day? Exactly.

Multiply. You got this. If I had my calculator, I could do it. That's some

advice, Ms. Luna.

Exactly. So you would do a number of seconds in a minute.

Number of minutes in an hour, number of hours in a day.

If you had your pen and your paper here, you could do the math on,

you know, the paper here.

So let's not use the calculator.

60.

There you go.

60 minutes in an hour, too.

24 hours in a day.

24.

That's a big math problem.

So... So

there's 160 times 2 is 120.

That's so close.

And then I just multiply 120 by 24.

Wait, 120 times 24.

Now we're doing it steady. Yeah, I like

it when you fuck me and think at the same time.

Can I please just use my calculator?

Well, you're not going to have a calculator on the test, Tyler.

But he's going to have a calculator in life.

Yeah. So, you know, are you really setting him up for the test here? Let's

everybody use a calculator these days, right? Yeah, totally.

Nobody has time to sit there and jaw it out.

Oh.

Mommy loves feeling her cramps.

I love feeling it too.

Okay.

Thanks for that visual.

So, we're going to go, okay, value of pi.

Let's do that.

Pi never ends. How could I name the value?

Well, we can name the first four or five values.

Round up or down from there.

3 .14.

Uh -huh. And do you know the next three numbers?

Not off the top of my head, but it's... That's why we're here.

159. 159.

Wow. That's great.

Luna? Uh -huh.

My mom's smart.

Uh -huh.

Yeah.

I'm up here for you.

Good question.

Let's go over this section here.

I'll circle that for you while I bring out my notes here.

We're right here in this section. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. Ah,

yes. Okay.

Let's do a value of cosine.

Thank you. We're going to do a value of cosine.

Sorry about that.

Oh, yes.

Oh, fuck.

Okay, so value of cosine would be...

engine over cosine, divide by seven.

We go here. Why do I divide by seven?

Because seven is a magic number.

Oh, yeah.

Exactly. Is that what it means? I thought it just meant, like, lucky.

Well, she said something about magic numbers and a seven, so I just put it

together. Context, please.

Great, I'm glad that you've been paying attention.

I could focus on multiple things at once.

That's great. That's what I'm trying to teach my son here.

I think I'm doing a pretty good job.

Don't you think so, Mom? I'm kind of doing a great job.

That's a pretty good job. Really not that great of a job. We don't really

to go over much here.

Okay, the governor's a prime number, so it can be added and provided.

Uh -huh. Uh -huh, yeah.

What's going on?

So cosine, tangent, 7.

We're going to do that part.

Okay.

All right.

Cosine, tangent, we've got here.

The answer is 1.

1? Yes.

So you divide the cosine, it cancels itself out. I was going to get that.

Oh, that's so good. You didn't really give me enough time.

I think your concept of time might be a little bit warped right now.

I don't think. I mean, I have six hours to finish this test.

I'm going to have a lot of time. A lot of time. Yeah. But there's only about,

like, 1 ,200 questions.

That's why I'm a little bit concerned that, you know, if you get tested

tomorrow, you're not really going to graduate.

Oh, God. It's a six -hour test.

Mm -hmm.

Oh,

I want all that. Come on. Oh, look at that. Oh, my good boy.

Come all over mommy's titties. Yes. Oh, such a good boy.

That's your best shot yet, sweetie.

Yeah,

looks good.

I'll tell you what, you guys get back to it, and I'll be back with snacks in a

little bit, okay?

Sounds good, Mom.

Okay,

Tyler.

Which one were we on?

Let's get started again, okay?

Maybe put some clothes on.

My mom wasn't weird about it.

Yeah, well, I'm not your mom, so... Okay.

Who... Who discovered the contour integral sign?
