Mr. Longfellow’s Math Class

 

 

Geometry and Pythagoras

Now the right triangle I'm sure you can deduce,

Has a right angle, two legs, and a hypotenuse.

But can you prove the hypotenuse square,

Is the sum of squares of the legs.  QEDuese?  

 

Algebra

The monomial has a single term,

The binomial has two.

Or is it the other way around?

I'm never sure.  Are you?  

 

Number Theory

Bet you didn't know that 
1701411834604692317316873037 is prime,

If so, that's hardly a crime.

But, if you thought that 917562 is prime too,

Then spend a moment and multiply 
458781 times 2.    

 

 

Infinity

Counting to infinity,

Will drive you to divinity.

But counting past infinity,

Will drive you to insinity.  

 

 

  

On Proving 1 = 2

If you're interested in proving 1 = 2 quick,

With the aid of some phony arithmetic,

Write 0 times 1 equals 0 times 2,

Then taking 0, divide on through.
