Final Proof that Math & Poetry Have A Special Relationship???
To read what The Guardian had to say about it, click here.
I'm not too sure about this analogy between poetry and math. I come from a long line of math phobics, and I myself get dizzy, just thinking about numbers. I have even begotten a daughter with the same math-phobic genes. Right now she is struggling valiantly through her required math courses, and I can't help her with a single problem.
I've never been able to RETAIN any algebraic formulas and remember nothing of my high school geometry course. I've never used any of that gibberish (well, to me, anyway) in REAL LIFE.
Come on now, when was the last time someone in a panic stopped you on the street, and demanded, "QUICK!!! It's life-or-death!!!! What is the square root of an isosceles triangle????!!!!!"
YIKES!!!! Any other closet math-phobics out there???
