Note
An -ing form that does two jobs. In a progressive it stays verbal (she was mathing through the budget), and as a gerund it names the activity itself (mathing all afternoon). The verb behind it is informal, made from the clipped noun math, so it suits casual talk rather than formal prose. In slang it can also mean adding up or making sense: a story that isn't mathing simply doesn't hold together.
mathing is a form of math
