Download or read book Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry written by Marcia Birken and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are invited to join a fascinating journey of discovery, as Marcia Birken and Anne C. Coon explore the intersecting patterns of mathematics and poetry — bringing the two fields together in a new way. Setting the tone with humor and illustrating each chapter with countless examples, Birken and Coon begin with patterns we can see, hear, and feel and then move to more complex patterns. Number systems and nursery rhymes lead to the Golden Mean and sestinas. Simple patterns of shape introduce tessellations and concrete poetry. Fractal geometry makes fractal poetry possible. Ultimately, patterns for the mind lead to questions: How do mathematicians and poets conceive of proof, paradox, and infinity? What role does analogy play in mathematical discovery and poetic expression? The book will be of special interest to readers who enjoy looking for connections across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry features centuries of creative work by mathematicians, poets, and artists, including Fibonacci, Albrecht Dürer, M. C. Escher, David Hilbert, Benoit Mandelbrot, William Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, E.E. Cummings, and many contemporary experimental poets. Original illustrations include digital photographs, mathematical and poetic models, and fractal imagery.
Download or read book Mathematics Poetry and Beauty written by Ron Aharoni and published by World Scientific Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2015 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does mathematics have to do with poetry? Seemingly, nothing. Mathematics deals with abstractions while poetry with emotions. And yet, the two share something essential: Beauty. "Euclid alone has looked on beauty bare," says the title of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.A winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2015, "Mathematics, Poetry and Beauty" tries to solve the secret of the similarity between the two domains. It tries to explain how a mathematical argument and a poem can move us in the same way. Mathematical and poetic techniques are compared, with the aim of showing how they evoke the same sense of beauty.The reader may find that, as Bertrand Russell said, "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty -- a beauty hold and austere, like that of sculpture ... sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

Download or read book Fun with Math and Poetry written by Michael Joseph Humphrey and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a series of poetry books that turn math concepts, vocabulary and formulas into poetic lessons and rhymes. As a high school math teacher for 25 years, I designed poetry to summarize main points of lessons I teach. The poem is displayed and read to the students, the lesson is taught, then the poem is reread. Understanding the poem requires the student to understand the concepts. For the English Language Learners (ELL), these poems are a great way to rehearse math vocabulary. And for the student in general, the poems are a great study tool. For educators. these poems have a myriad of pedagogical applications. These poems also facilitate teaching across the various disciplines. For example, English teachers teaching poetry, could also connect to mathematics, and math teachers can connect to the language arts by having their students write poetry about math. One thing for certain though, these poems are fun, and will keep you on the go.

Download or read book The Math Campers written by Dan Chiasson and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father and husband's meditation on love, adolescence, and the mysterious mechanisms of poetic creation, from the acclaimed poet. The poet's art is revealed in stages in this "making-of" book, where we watch as poems take shape--first as dreams or memories, then as drafts, and finally as completed works set loose on the world. In the long poem "Must We Mean What We Say," a woman reader narrates in prose the circumstances behind poems and snippets of poems she receives in letters from a stranger. Who made up whom? Chiasson, an acclaimed poetry critic, has invented a remarkable structure where the reader and a poet speak to one another, across the void of silence and mystery. He is also the father of teenaged sons, and this volume continues the autobiographical arc of his prior, celebrated volumes. One long section is about the age of thirteen and the dawning of desire, while the title poem looks at the crucial age of fifteen and the existential threat of climate change and gun violence, which alters the calculus of adolescence. Though the outlook is bleak, these poems register the glories of our moment: that there are places where boys can kiss each other and not be afraid; that small communities are rousing and taking care of each other; that teenagers have mobilized for a better world. All of these works emerge from the secretive imagination of a father as he measures his own adolescence against that of his sons and explores the complex bedrock of marriage. Chiasson sees a perilous world both navigated and enriched by the passionate young and by the parents--and poets--who care for them.

Download or read book Math Poetry Fun with Sidney the Silly Friends written by Marianne W. Penn and published by . This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open the door and step into Sidney the Silly's world where Math ] Poetry = FUN! Based on the award winning picture book Sidney the Silly Who Only Eats 6 by M.W. Penn & Sarah Tommer, this workbook is 100+ pages of rhymes, games, math problems and poetry activities to challenge your young learner and get them using every part of their brain at once! Why combine math and literature? It is important for educators to use images that matter to children-images that have the power to capture their attention. We can use these images to make concepts clear, meaningful and memorable. To us, Sidney's palace may be imaginary, but the story is quite real to children. They relate to Sidney's world and, through this vision, to its mathematics and poetry. The characters that people the palace provide children with a friendly, fun learning experience in a warm, enchanting environment. Literature also engages those students who sometimes lose interest during math sessions. 7 - 1 = 6 might be boring, but squishing a cherry on the floor when you have 7 cherries and want to have only 6 can be great fun. When mathematics becomes this specific, children understand its relevance. Why poetry? Poets and musicians (and, yes, children) have a sub-conscious inner ear that hears and keeps track of properties such as the number, pitch, and duration of sounds. Rhythm, a quality in both music and poetry, is produced by the patterned repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables. Thus the symmetry, pattern and meter of poetry is a beautiful manifestation of mathematics. - M.W. Penn
