A Mathematician’s Love Letter

I found this neat site http://fuckyeahchemistry.tumblr.com.

I stumbled upon a love letter. This is for the math lovers.

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. There I saw you with your cute circular face, conical nose and spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden. Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity.

I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity.You are as essential to me as an element of a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality.

My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10.

With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.

Yours ever loving,

Pythagoras

Love and Math.. the best combination..

Should I watch what I say?

So, a couple of weeks ago, Dean Shareski from the UofR shared that one (Kyle) of his students had made his opinion heard through his blog toward some education head honchos. Dean's post spoke about the role of ethics in blogging. It made me question the kinds of things I myself say on this blog or on any other public forums for that matter. Are we not allowed to express our opinion? It's public domain, I believe we have the right. If Kyle had not written about what he had written, he would have never even been heard.

I guess in the scheme of things, there are pros and cons to it. But for me, I love to blog. It's the only place where I can express my thoughts and on the random occasion, someone actually listens.. I don't think Kyle should have been penalized to expressing his opinion through his blog. I think the only way to make a statement is to let other people know. Sure I see the other side of it, where Kyle could have approached the educative administration in private to discuss his issues, but I believe the other way is justified.

Blogs are meant for sharing and expressing ideas. They're like newspapers nowadays.. If you don't like to read it then don't attack it for having a view.
