"Math People Are Not English People"
They use different sides of the brain
But there is a rhythm in
sin(c)=tan(e)
and beauty in the way
the derivative of
x^4
curves like dune crests
and shark vertebrae
slicing the water
and something more than
a little poetic
in the arcs and angles
of a sliced circle.

Curses! The 6th line should be x^5, not x^4!
Acually, wait. It's correct the way it is.
English people really aren't math people, and I am proof of that.
I loathe math but I enjoyed this. There is something calming about the rhythm of this piece. A nice spurt of creativity.
As an English person who happens to chance good scores on her math tests once in a while, I appreciated this piece. There is great beauty in the graceful mathematic precision of a well-graphed sine wave.
I infinitely prefer cosine.
