Mathematic Uncertainty

MATHEMATIC   UNCERTAINTY



A number may be rounded or squared;
While a letter can only be squared, and is spared
Further distortion.
Is this contortion 
Of logic wobbly?
Probably.


…………………………………………………………………..

NOTE

Remember the formula about the circle where “R”  is squared
Remember that 4.27 can be rounded to 4.3
4.27 can be squared  to  18.2329

Hi Ilene......good to hear from you ....thanks for liking the wee poem. You have a natural instinct for poetry cos you have fixed on the wobbly/probably rhyme......and this is the key idea where the poem actually came from ....I was on the bus just thinking about rhymes, and in my head I "heard" wobbly and knew that most people pronounce "probably" as "probly". then I just concocted the other lines to fit around wobbly/probably...not very Shakespearean hahaha.... thanks again ...best wishes.....Syd
