    Something for Loring

    MATH LIMERICK

    ((12+144+20+(3*4^(1/2)))/7)+(5*11)=9^2+0


    A dozen, a gross and a score,
    Plus three times the square root of four,
    Divided by seven,
    Plus five times eleven,
    Equals nine squared and not a bit more.

      I dunno about that. math is a necessary evil for engineering.
      Mix it with poetry and it's just too much.

        Oh, come on. Math in poetry is fun. Reminds me of another poem, from a lovesick math major:

        My love for him shall never die,
        He will always be my hero;
        My love exceeds one-over-y
        as y approaches zero.

          I do like that one.

            Being a business major, calculus was not a strong suit of mine but an engineering student friend of mine gave me this one...

            The integral of "as"= 1/2 "as" squared or...don't shoot the messenger

            half as*

              I didn't notice any calculus...maybe some algebra.


              I'll assume its 81. (Equals 9 squared)

              176 = {12 +144+20}
              + 6 = {3 X 2 (the square root of 4)}
              ____
              182

              182/7 (Divided by 7)

              =26

              26 +55 (five times eleven)

              =81 (equals 9 squared and not a bit more)
