Very beautiful!Hey, I thought of you the other day because of a romantic comedy I was watching. It was Harold and Kumar Escape From Q.B.Okay, not a fancy movie, but funny...but ques what? There was a mathematical poem reference! And right away I thought of your work."I fear that I will always be A lonely number like root three The three is all that's good and right, Why must my three keep out of sight Beneath the vicious square root sign, I wish instead I were a nine For nine could thwart this evil trick, with just some quick arithmetic I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321 Such is my reality, a sad irrationality When hark! What is this I see, Another square root of a three As quietly co-waltzing by, Together now we multiply To form a number we prefer, Rejoicing as an integer We break free from our mortal bonds With the wave of magic wands Our square root signs become unglued Your love for me has been renewed"Math in movies:http://www.math.harvard.edu/~knill/mathmovies/index.html
Hi Candy, It is nice to hear from you. I like your poem and think it would have fit well into "Strange Atractors" (A book of mathematical love poems)Hey this link is pretty cool as well.Thanks!Kaz
Hey, I loved that poem too, here is it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOSwChKvzaU

"I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed"
