Those who haunt university halls.
He must often get lucky.
But, who is this Bucky?
And why do they study his balls?
--- Alex Heydon P0406
Did some wonderful things with canards.
But his theorems so fancy
Were proven by Nancy,
'Cause his brain was all bullshit and lard.

Couldn't stand his work treated with banter.
If you told him, "By God, it is
Just infinite oddities,"
He fell down and perished instanter.

He would dine once a week
On a prune of a leek,

Using x's and y's
Formed a horrid surprise
To his wife when constructing a tart.

One studied quite hard
And one was a card.
But each had a devilish aura.

Lost the VERY FIRST YEAR right up front.
And a monk so assiduous,
Dionysius Exiguous,
For his ROMAN MATH now takes the brunt.

He would scream fit to bust,
Cram her into the copper and boiler.

I went yellow, turned tail and ran.
The sight of a fraction
Drove me to distraction;

I can pack up my cares in a box.
I'm no longer a cynic;
I went heteroclinic

Most people dismayed,
Feel he should just have paid
Her damn bill 'stead of getting so sore.

When he finish some book,
He would seize his fat cook
And cavort to the music of Strauss.

Whose algebra still is a jewel.
His methods mathmatical
For symbols grammatical,
For computers has proved a key tool.

Of both Escher and Bach,
Put the words in the mouth of a turtle.

AI and math; entertained.
Grant me asking its name,
Everybody who's game,
By hinting the rhymes self contained.

That Sneyd claims to be quite a nerd.
Though without any data,
He becomes quite the satyr,
And can't take one fourth from one third.
--- Anon
Who majored in Math and C.S. (Computer Science)
His interest had wings,
He learned many things.
But for grades he couldn't care less.
--- M Hale
Got sick, which did clog up his sinus.
He did not do the best,
When he sneezed on his test,
'Cause instead of a "+" wrote a "-".
--- Jim Weaver Collection
Was never called "long-headed Toby;"
Though his thoughts might be cryptic
And functions elliptic,
His skull remained rounded and globy.

Adding, "and I suppose,
Much the same may be said of blancmange."

Aspired to be top of his class.
If his sums came out right
He would smile through the night;
If not, he would murmur, "Helas!"

It's time for some substitutin'.
Take the stuff on display
And collapse it away,
Right along with Leibnitz and Newton.

It's hydrodynamic --
The curl of div saved the great toiler.

I'm just dying to get the work done.
It looks near an end,
So how can I send
All these letters I've written someone?

There was a young lady named Mather
Who studied her math
In a hot bubble bath
And worked herself into a lather.

Kept his books in a book-box with book-lid.
To rule lines he made use
Of this lid, warped and loose,
So his parallels met, being crooklied.

I made a life-changing decision.
Math virgins I'd tutor
To make gals astuter,
By helping with their long division.

So poor that they can't afford Jello.
We worked out a trade --
In lieu of cash paid,
They'd help straighten out my Longfellow!
--- Jon Gearhart
That the sponsors exploit to the max.
With the size of the odds,
They are committing frauds;
You can't understand by their syntax.

From the lotteries kind of action.
But each mathematician
Who's of wealth and position,
Knows when he sees a cash extraction.
--- Tom Patton

The lottery pools
Are made for fools;
Odds are bad and they call it new math.

Mathematical odds
Are the lap of the Gods,
So now my finances are tottery.

But after fierce ructions
And fore-and-aft fluxions,
He stamped off to put a clean suit on.

To do so may be
The height of lazy
Or Nicholai Lobachevsky's muse.

I'd strive to be able
To decode my label,
But shucks, I'm no mathematician.

To others it's plain
That his miniscule brain
Is just filled with wind, piss and snot.

Got her father to do it. She thought
That his skill was far greater.
We wept a week later.
Dad's mark out of ten? It was nought.

Yet, to add to their life,
Without trouble or strife,
Pedantricity is a word they use well!

Was finally cut down to size.
When his peers had enough
And were sick of his guff,
They gave him the Phew-litzer prize.

Just stood there and pleaded for mercy.
She said, "In complex
v-y equals u-x --
Or maybe it is vice-versy."

Her lectures are the height of clarity.
Except that for when
She does minus-1 to the n,
It turns out to be the wrong parity.
--- Anon
Was engulfed in hyper-hilarity,
'Cause again she had spun
A spare minus one.
She said, "Well, we can give it to charity."

His math pupils sat dazed,
And their eyes over glazed,
As he endeavored to reach 'em.

For angles and pi,
Do not ever die.
They simply go on to infinity."

Let us seem, when we're near 'em,
Like the squares in my theorem,
Not act 'with it' for fear they may dagger us."

Was arrested for brainchild abuse,
Claiming: 'Squares on these mothers,
Like cool, man, just covers
The one on the hypotenuse."

I treat maths proofs with abandon.
I soon find the proof,
And then raise the roof,
Shouting "Yes. Quod est demonstrandum."

Was bustin' its brain and its torso.
They went huffin' and puffin',
But came up with nuffin'.
Now they're living on noodles and oozo.

Till each answer he got.
And now he's no longer a fool.

Unless your TA is a whore,
Who screams when she comes
While doing Math sums,
Saying, "Give it to me HARDER and MORE!"

But numbers I can't calculate.
In math I'm impaired;
Of digits I'm scared,
Like ten other folks out of eight.
--- Bob Birch P0311
Has declined to the point of outrage.
Equations quadratica
Are solved on Mathematica,
And on birthdays we don't know our age.

Said waiting for new thoughts is dreary.
Many monkeys he sees
Pounding typewriter keys
Who in time will produce a great theory.

Who wore shorts in all kinds of weather.
She'd wrestle the proofs
To the mat with no goofs.
The teachers couldn't do any better.
