Lessons from Maths Class

24/06/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation

There is nothing more pleasing

Than the idea of learning

And taking that knowledge from one area

And applying it somewhere else.

 

And though it may seem strange

For the lessons from mathematics

To be entwined with english,

It is inextricably linked.

 

The formulas themselves remain

Largely in the domain of maths

But the processes by which they are born

Are embedded in the language we use.

 

The elegance of an equation

Might evoke a similar response

To that when viewing an artwork

Crafted by one of the masters.

 

Statistics might seem terribly dry

But its logic is unquestionable

And it influences the mind of the viewer

To see the world in a more analytical way.

 

So, while you mind may wander,

Do try to see the beauty and inspiration

That mathematics holds in its grasp

And pushes out into the world.
