Mathematician
A Gemini artist married to a Libra mathematician?
This will end badly, a relationship that defies regal ambition.
The naysayers laugh for we are opposite in many ways.
I can lose myself in my work and paint canvasses for days.
My libra mathematician likes statistics, it is his powerful tool.
I cannot understand algebra, statistics once made me a fool.
But we eat our beef, mashed potatoes with warm bread.
And we do not talk shop, so our marriage moves along ahead.
A Gemini artist married to a Libra mathematician is insane.
But we have been married for over fifty years so this is plain.
Although I despise math, and he does not cartoon, paint or sing.
We have many commonalities, and laugh at the same thing.
We raised three daughters who understood the beauty of this.
Depending upon the problem, they sought answers for their bliss.
Asking the Gemini when playing and whimsy was the answer they wanted.
If it was a logic question or a math problem, for Daddy they hunted.
When math class starts, stress will rise,
"I’m no good at math" glows up in our head,
You see rising panic form in our eyes,
Inner chat takes over instead.
But you take the "not now, not never", self-talk—
The labels we use when we're lost—
And show us how to pause, take a walk,
Where "failure's" a bridge to be crossed.
You guide us through the work on the board,
These mistakes are how we can learn.
A growth-filled room of learning to think,
Worry dies as good thoughts return
It was never about the X or the Y,
But how we speak to our thoughts at our desk;
You teach our minds a healthy reply,
Make our problems seem like a quest.
dissertation of endocrinology
in the now of brimhall library, instructing a student as to where here mcat's can go i dissertated endocrinology as was required by the universe. i don't choose to pursue medicine for money. i am a published journalist who does not require citation for proof of journalism. this is a civil rights violation and obstruction to justice i am submitting to my peers.
that was me creating a women's right act
I see the mountain
I see the problem
But I also see Jesus who will factorize the problem
Jesus is the Great Mathematician!
Now I know that I can
Scale the mountain in His Name
I hold His Hand and Sing
Praises to His Name
He is a Great God and
He promised to guard my way
As I pray I lay the issue to rest
Lest I forget that faith in our
Heavenly Father is the key to success
Jesus is the Great Mathematician!
The Kingdom is taken by force
As I enforce His Word…
I see the mountain
I see the problem
But I also see Jesus My Helper
Jesus is the Great Mathematician

Hardly does zero fidget
Wielding all the calculation rights of another digit,
In some environment wielding even the more;
In those said places showing 'How core',
By it a solver is dumped,
If by him neglectfully jumped...
The best Mathematician set ablaze,
If he doesn't make it his base.
The examiners tool for nullifying a performance
Preparing candidates and exam for another romance,
Ones animosities against it to wait,
Until one has Mathematics abandoned...
Our fervor for it our lot -our fate,
Until we are no longer by calculus condoned.
Always your Zero prejudices hold over...
Still your finer, better option
With this spherical naught settle your ruction.
The theoretical physicist asked,
Why do all nomials
act like binomials?
The elegant mathematician responded,
Why do all positives
equal double negatives?
The long-winded politician commented,
Why do all politically empowering answers
encourage
1. patriarchal wealth economist
to respond with paradoxical
not not health
0. satisfactory feminist questions
To support bilaterally balancing
quantum qualitative
universal healthy space

A mathematician named Stanley Quist
So impressed his fellow topologists
By finding a proof of a complex conjecture,
Then disappearing during his lecture.
For he had just proven that S. Quist did not exist.
A cup of coffee is turned
into theorems, each taste,
sugariness, and density
carrying its own problem.
He sees his wife as a collision
of equations in time and space…
Mathematician and Poet
I once knew a poet named Anisha
She wrote poems sipping Mimosa.
She did not care for critics
But she loved Mathematics.
She solved sums on ordinate-abscissa.

Please excuse my dear aunt sally
cause mathematically
how geometrically in reality the measurements accurately
shadow me
actually
my aunt manufactured me
multiply
my design
then divide by zero
it would be undefined
my existence is geometry
any form an shape symmetry
symmetrically an entity
whos positively unbalanced to negativity
cause negatively im positively magnetically
my well being makes me an mathematician
using mathemically the principles to define my existence
A crowned king is you mathematician
You cured our problems like an experienced physician
You manipulated our facts like a sorcerer like a magician
You created masterpieces like a talented musician
You twisted our minds like an articulate politician
You shocked our souls like a brilliant electrician
You trained our brains like a skillful technician
You awed us like a scientist on a sacred expedition
You made up daily life as a constant definition
You represented our goals in a variable expression
You proved impossible laws like an eloquent patrician
You wrote a play of theorems without an intermission
You made formulas like stars with immortal ignition
A final word to say before an exposition
To you the ancestor of Gauss the prince mathematician
And the son of Euler the father of mathematical fission
Let others be corpses and you be their only mortician
