Hit the slopes.
The joke “What did the mathematician do over winter? Hit the slopes” relies on a play on words involving the term “slopes.” In mathematics, particularly in the study of functions and geometry, the slope is a measure of the steepness, incline, or grade of a line or surface. It’s a fundamental concept that mathematicians frequently engage with. On the other hand, “hitting the slopes” is a common colloquial expression for going skiing or snowboarding at a ski slope or resort during the winter season.
