April 2022 Problem of the Month

Mr. P's cable provider allows him to search for a program title using the keypad on his remote.   For example, he would press 8-4-3-6-2-6-9-4-6-5-6-3-9-4-6-3-4-6-4-8-9 to search for "The Man Who Knew Infinity" (the 2015 movie about Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan). The search engine usually finds the title long before Mr. P has typed in all the numbers.

In this puzzle, you are to use the standard keypad to determine the three math words below.
