 A sphere has two sides. However, there are one-sided surfaces.

There are shapes of constant width other than the circle. One can even drill square holes.

There are just five regular polyhedra
In a group of 23 people, at least two have the same birthday with the probability greater than 1/2.
 
Everything you can do with a ruler and a compass you can do with the compass alone.

Among all shapes with the same perimeter a circle has the largest area.

There are curves that fill a plane without holes.

Much as with people, there are irrational, perfect, complex numbers.

As in philosophy, there are transcendental numbers.
  
As in the art, there are imaginary and surreal numbers.

A straight line has dimension 1, a plane - 2. Fractals have mostly fractional dimension.

You are wrong if you think Mathematics is not fun.

Math is a very rewarding and useful subject. Most Emagister online degrees and colleges require math courses to graduate. Who is the nerd now?
 
Mathematics studies neighborhoods, groups and free groups, rings, ideals, holes, poles and removable poles, trees, growth ...

Mathematics also studies models, shapes, curves, cardinals, similarity, consistency, completeness, space ...

  Among objects of mathematical study are heredity, continuity, jumps, infinity, infinitesimals, paradoxes...

  Last but not the least, Mathematics studies stability, projections and values, values are often absolute but may also be extreme, local or global.

Trigonometry aside, Mathematics comprises fields like Game Theory, Braids Theory, Knot Theory and more.

  One is morally obligated not to do anything impossible.
