Mathematics

Mental stretching, the required sacrifice
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
To all exercises, these four are the basics
Hell on paper but sweet in its understanding
Equations and formula, serving as raw products
Mastering the existence of numbers to gain its wisdom
Arithmetics also in a graphical representation
Then its technicalities in shapes and planes
Into life's activities, these applications silently integrate
Calculation of numbers and expressions
Sum up all problems via solutions to an answer.

Welcome back. When the means equaled the end, which ones dropped out and which ones started over again? Composite, deposit, anesthetic, and pathetic and diuretic. Create a limerick out of that. Jim Horn

Loved this but then...I'm into quantum mechanics. So, Orthogonal Pairs, Hermitian Matrix, Complex Conjugates, Probability Distrubutions and Sigma one-three. Ha! Yes makes us nuts but IS the universal language that describes. Grok this one. Thank you.

Hi Funom, i was rubbish at Math at school. This is a most creative acrostic you have penned. A wonderful job. This write has originality, creativity and it has to be a seven and into my faves, an excellent acrostic on a hard theme....Mike.

Each line was ripe with thought, and though about something more concrete, it comes in a pretty package, "Hell on paper but sweet in its understanding" .... I think most of the population is in agree-ance with you! Excellent acrostic, Funom.
