Still Huxley is puzzling through;
A method that's now not so new.
Large zetas are seen
Through the fourth or fifth mean,
And fourth powers bring SL two.
--- Martin Huxley

A method that makes moments sweeter,
Continuing multiple zeta.
A student called Meera
Has got a lot nearer;
Non-classical cases defeat her.
--- Martin Huxley

"Polynomials don't do a lot",
Was the theme of Montgomery's slot.
Best constants conjectured
Are those that you lectured?
I think so. The Borweins think not.
--- Martin Huxley

The formalized Hilbert was blessed
By Cantor, the infinitist.
Must Julia dim it?
"The classical limit,
Like Paradise, doesn't exist!"
--- Martin Huxley

The Shairelman-Zelditch affair
Smooths out all the Maass functions square.
Giving evidence more
For what Sarnak is sure:
No scarring or humps anywhere.
--- Martin Huxley

De Branges' continued activity
Rearranges his proof. Well he give it? We
Are told by Li Xianjing,
His story's unchanging,
Though his range doesn't have positivity.
--- Martin Huxley

The Eisenstein series of Maass,
Though the simplest of things in their class,
Give the funky equation
And new information;
A threshold no zero can pass.
--- Martin Huxley

Shouldn't lectures speeding, face fines?
For I have to take notes missing lines.
The results are terrif,
But my secret hieroglyph:
"Theorem: m not exceeding five nines."
--- Martin Huxley

The Levinson method, says Gonek,
Who's frequently somewhat sardonic,
Counts zeros as if
There's a one by log shift,
But the progress is not monotonic.
--- Martin Huxley

Needing no fancy index or specs,
Keating measures cross-product effects.
Though no proof has been shown,
It fits all data known,
And it passes numerical checks.
--- Martin Huxley

Persuading high powers to unwrap,
Takes a multiple sum, not a scrap.
Continue it far
Past the poles where they are,
And the moment falls into your lap.
--- Martin Huxley

Pelikaan gave the clue what to do
With an elegant function or two.
Counting weights in a code,
And his mates that he showed,
It could generate a function too.
--- Martin Huxley

If Riemann had spoken his heart,
We would have Polya's clue from the start.
His manuscript revels
In energy levels,
Then zeta is taken apart.
--- Martin Huxley

The zero permitted by Siegel
Is setting itself up as regal.
It leads a procession
Around it's possession.
Can such a behavior be legal?
--- Martin Huxley

The randomised matrices model
Looks like you hope some other bod'll
Compute all the means;
Combination machines
Make the integrals rather a doddle.
--- Martin Huxley

With tricks that complete Riemann's hint,
Mathematicians make zeros a sprint.
One programming quirk
Keeps deleting his work;
You have to do SAVE before PRINT.
--- Martin Huxley

The positive values of Lapid
Make delivery terribly rapid.
When he scrolled on his laptop,
The wall image snapped up;
Left me feeling a sea-sick and vapid.
--- Martin Huxley

For a new topological space,
Take division point lattice as base.
Make it 3D as well,
Quotient down to a cell,
And you're into the solenoid case.
--- Martin Huxley

A fractional functional space,
Is a step-function spanned by the base?
For n-widths they find
Asymtotics refined,
With a lower bound proved in its place.
--- Martin Huxley

Stark noticed a propoerty strong:
Sum of cosines is negative long.
If this cannot be,
Then improvement we see
On the line where no zeros belong.
--- Martin Huxley

With the Riemann Hypothesis found,
We would have a nice quantity bound.
And quality fruits?
Only primitive roots.
Has a summit been reached or a mound?
--- Martin Huxley

An oracle there to appeal,
But the field must be totally real.
So ternary quadrics
No longer play odd tricks
As Sarnak and friends can reveal.
--- Martin Huxley

The Riemann and Roch-ing connection
Appears on a closer inspection
Of the thesis of Tate,
Not as something to state.
It is only the head of a section.
--- Martin Huxley

Rank two with a level inflation,
It starts with an amplification.
First trick to take place
Is the Peterson trace
Followed by "Voroino summation."
--- Martin Huxley

If Weil had not lost in the Crash,
And retreated to math to earn cash,
He would rise to high rank
As the head of a bank
And perhaps win the Prize, and not Nash.
--- Martin Huxley

Paul Cohen, continuum hero,
Enquired of Piatecki-Shapiro,
"What functions will do
On angles mod star Q.
Don't touch it. You want to find zero?"
--- Martin Huxley

The method that Katz wants to give
Renders all that's symplectical triv'.
And integer values
At the powers we shall use,
Makes it clear where the poles have to live.
--- Martin Huxley

The ideas that Newman now floats
Are released from his twelve-year-old notes.
Probabilities dense
Should give zeta, and thence
Lee and Yang harvest Riemann's wild oats.
--- Martin Huxley

The transform of xi is a density
With twice exponential intensity.
The resemblance is teasing
To the model of Ising,
With its definite line-up propensity.
--- Martin Huxley

Brian Conrey has interesting news
With Keating and Snaith and Chris Hughes.
The moments foreseen
Are confirmed by machine;
What is seen at the Number of Skewes.
--- Martin Huxley

Take zeta one half plus T;
Is its modulus greater than V?
Can the size of the set
Be predictable, yet
You get root T in accuracy?
--- Martin Huxley

The values of zeta we see
Are an island of stability.
To topple our towers
Of forecasts for powers,
A storm of size root log log t.
--- Martin Huxley

Tell the Riemann Hypothesis crew
That zeta alone will not do.
Precise applications
To nice situations
Require it for i-functions too.
--- Martin Huxley

This is file mvl

Does Haar measure structures allow
Taking means on a group? They do now.
And even beginners
Can oscillate spinners,
As Zirnbauer will show you Howe.
--- Martin Huxley

I was told by a mathematician,
That the odds against having coition,
With Betty Jo Donne,
Are a hundred to one.
So they are--till you ask her permission.
--- John Ciardi A

"Statistics," observed Dr. Pound,
"Are a poor substitute all around
For the truth, Heaven knows,
But, as scholars disclose,
They're the best one which science has found."
--- A N Wilkins P8311

A man can have great health because
He eats pizza with tomato sauce.
But Karen says, "NO!"
She undoubtedly knows:
To correlate is not to cause.
--- Anon

Once upon a midnight dreary
As I pondered weak and weary
Over realistic
Limericks on STATISTICS,
Men in white were standing near me.
--- Irving Superior P9306

Oh how well will I remember
When they told me in December
I would be released
Provided I had ceased
As a loyal LIM SIG member.

(LIM SIG - limerick special interest group)
--- Irving Superior P9306

The kinky young hooker, Sue Lanyard,
Had a clientele to whom she pandered.
As she brought to fruition
An odd statistician,
She quipped, "This deviation is standard?"
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0007

A young statistician who pandered
To fashion in math was quite slandered;
He muttered, "My God,
Some vices are odd--
But this deviation is standard."
--- Norm Storer P9307

At St. Andrews, a quota-based sample
Of students gives confidence ample
That the men are such terrors,
That their probable errors
Provide an improper example.

There once was a student named Matt,
Who was pretty good swinging a bat.
But math caught his fancy
(Or was it just Nancy?)
And now he's an expert in Stat.
--- M Hale

Why consider two sexes essential?
There is multi-sexual potential
For tri-sexuals and gays
To do it six ways;
After pentas, it goes exponential!
--- John Miller

A statistical hangup in Alice's.
She measures the size of all phalluses.
She records the position
And length of coition,
And performs a log-linear analysis.
--- Pedro J Saavedra P8208

"In spring," said the strict statistician,
"I live by this stern supposition:
The chances of love
Are a straight function of
The number of times of coition."
--- Mad Zeno a

When Max and Min together come,
Max wants from Min the maximum.
Though Min has heard
That "Mum's the word,"
But is it Max or minimum?
--- Irving Superior P8911

An adroit frequent flyer named Hicks
Versed in abstract statistical tricks,
Carried not one but two
Faulty parts when he flew,
So the odds would become one in six.
--- William N Nesbit P9612

My dear, I don't like variation
From normal and straight copulation;
But if you must swerve
On the Gaussian curve,
The standard is one deviation.
--- Ed Potts P8506

A psychologist near Trois Pistoles,
When he studied the feminine role,
From statistics and charts,
Clearly proved that the parts
Added up to much less than the hole.
--- Hugh Oliver 42a

Is Nature so fickle, my friend,
And indefinite future to portend?
"Well I say it is so
'Cause experiments show
Probability reigns in the end."
--- William Rolnick

Said a cute statistician of Bismark,
"Will I note the admission of his mark
To my delicate clit
As a definite hit,
Or just fill out my form with a quiz mark."
--- Keith MacMillan A091A

When trying to find the best line,
There's no need to moan or to whine.
Just follow Pete's path
And you'll know what to ask.
For regression, this lesson's just fine.

(Peter Salamon)
--- Literary Group

While, as for the women, their modes,
As judged by some strange episodes,
Of avoiding repression
By means of regression,
Are such that their Warden explodes.
--- Harold C Bibby

There once was a fellow from Seoul,
Who bet Satan he knew how dice roll.
"I know that I'll win
If I just can stay in."
But he wound up too far in the hole.

There was a new teacher, McTavage,
Whose student's IQ's were near savage.
He got up the nerve
To grade on the curve,
So their scores were all above average.

An impotent, fearless flyer named Crain,
Has an idea that's really insane.
He takes the stance
That there's little chance
Of two defective parts on one plane.
--- Tom Patton P9612

A leprous old bastard named Brice,
Had balls that were spotted like dice.
They were worthless as could be,
In the way that balls should be,
But a wonderful gambling device.

A nonparametric young guy
Once squeezed a significant thigh;
"This wasn't expected,"
The lady objected--
"I'd thought you were squarer than chi."

Said the mythical King of Algiers
To his harem assembled, "My Dears,
This may sound off of me.
I've given up sodomy,
You Pf's measured in years."

(Pf - could be mean time between fucks)
--- Martin Wellborn P9305

Sighed the masochist, "I must come clean:
For the median, I'm not so keen';
And I won't have the mode
Even near my abode--
But I'm really turned on by the mean."

An insurance man flies through the air,
Taking TWA on a dare.
The odds are just right
For a very safe flight,
Packing a broken part and a prayer.

As he asked, "What does your Venn entail?"
I said, "Ones, 'Purity',
'Body's two, 'Flavor's three....
I was thinking of Ballantyne Ale..."
--- Robin K Willoughby P8506

There once was a stat man named Bayes,
Who mooned in peculiar ways.
He'd show all his prior
To any admirer;
But to see his posterior, you pays.

If I just had a dame,
Who'd contort in all ten perversions.

The mouse on a moebius strip; ;
The strip revolved;
The mouse dissolved,
In a chrono-dimensional skip.
