Poetry for geeks

Cyan's picture

It's real easy to write your girlfriend poetry if you just get out a trigonometry book, and you find some theorems and put them into poetic form. Every time you see the word 'angle', you change it to 'angel'. It works really well:
I complement you, angel, and define you infinitely;
I am your adjacent angel, you are my cosine, and I denote you factorially.
I am the curve generated by the motion of your point; you are my ordinate function.
Oh--acute angel.

While I am there:

"Roman numerals, we learned in school. What is the application of this? What are they going to teach us next, chariot repair? I remember, I was all upset--I got a C on a test. Then I realized: it was 100!!"--Wayne Cotter

"A couple of months ago , I read about this guy in the paper who plunged to his death bungee-jumping because his cord was seventy feet too long. 70 feet too long! This is why we take math. It would actually make for a very good word problem, wouldn't it? 'Jim is about to bungee-jump. The ground is 100 feet below Jim. What can the maximum length of Jim's bungee cord be when stretched? a) More than 100 feet...'"--Jeff Stilson.

"The Nobel Prize in mathematics has been awarded to a California professor who has discovered a new number. The number is 'bleen'--which he claims belongs between six and seven"--George Carlin.

While we are here, a really really geeky joke, ... Smiling

A bunch of mathematicians were playing a role playing game where they were all pretending to be functions. All of them picked their favorites and started naming them. One of them said that he was the differentiation function and all the others scattered looking for hiding places. Only one stood his ground, chin up. They all advised him to hide from 'the differentiator' but he calmly replies that he is the function e raised to x. 'The differentiator' smiled and replied 'Who said I differentiate with respect to x?'


.... really?
