Sugar-free Red Bull
Algebra sheet limp beneath my elbow, mocking me in equations I’ll never understand. I open Google Classroom like a coffin. The deadlines stack up in a mound of unmarked corpses, in a thousand unmarked graves, in old, unmarked sections of my mind— I'd name them here, but who cares? I’m too tired to mourn them. Sugar-free Red Bull— because I don't sleep, because I care more...

Premium Member Discontented Minds
Could discontentment be a vice? To be a farmer would suffice - yet, born upon this earthly sphere, a boy in County Lincolnshire was left by farming, cold as ice. Not content to sow and harvest grain, He sought to understand and explain, inventing calculus he showed how nature's secrets he'd decode with his unsated, searching brain. As Newton revealed the...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Extraordinary people hide, The beauty they most treasure inside, Instead, they pay attention around, To a wonderful world rich with sound. Hide and seek can be fun for awhile, Inside the mind, magicians beguile, Around the world challenges the brain, Sound manifests around us like rain. Great, good, most always misunderstood....

Premium Member Angles
If only angles could be calculated by degrees of truth, Counted along perpendicularities measured by parallel reasons. If only spheres were round, Found amongst the globes hovering in the heavens we've named Space. Circling nuclei like electrons to an atom, orbiting thoughtlessly around a point that never proved itself. Heat and light suffice reason, it seems. To be and hither thither,...

Premium Member Just Doing the Math
If each US citizen was required to take full responsibility for the financial mismanagement of our former elected leadership, each American would owe approximately: $36.2 trillion (US Dept 2025) / 346 million (current US population) EQUALS ONE MILLION DOLLARS EACH!!! What!? My math must be wrong! Ugh, I do believe in fact that...

Equation to my poetry
She lived in a world of numbers, where every question had a clear answer. Her mind moved in straight lines, solving equations with precision, While mine wandered through the forests of words, Twisting and turning in metaphors, searching for meaning where none was certain. She could balance an equation in seconds, But my poetry, with its tangled emotions and ambiguous...

Why all the fuss? Having trouble with calculus? When dividing a number that may vary, it needn't be so scary - such division, not so primitive, is called a derivative, and the inverse of that operation, a new-fangled multiplication, which, by storm, is taking the nation, by the name of integration. If you disagree, and are disputin', take it up with Isaac Newton....

Premium Member Purim Theorem!
Purim Theorem! Rambam holds Hashem is math, Hashem does not take a path, Like “Squaring the Circle”, Such is illogical, Yet the Zohar differs on Hashem’s craft! Witness the Aron anomaly, Giving rise to a homily, Finite length & width yet zero volume, Boggling the mind, yielding it solemn, Evoking Emunah more than normally! Size yet no volume? Anomaly! as in Shalom, Moshe saw that the “Burning Bush”, Was...

Proofs!!! I could never grasp proofs they were too much for me How could side-angle-side equal prove that the hypotenuse squared plus, the cosine of angle A equal the square root of Pi? How could (x+a)^n=?_(k=0)^n¦?(n¦k) x^k a^(n-k) ? prove to be the same as f(x)=a_0+?_(n=1)^8¦(a_n cos??npx/L?+b_n sin??npx/L? ) How could a squared plus b squared equal the sine of angle abc if...

How many legs must have, an ant? Can he do without?  He can't! So, when he puts on his slacks, there's nothing that he lacks... and how does a snowflake get his kicks? The answer's in the number six!...
