THE WONDERS WITHIN


          MATHEMATICS




          a poem by Aryan Dalal, MYP 4




             Hot pale universe,                                   A complex framework of the alluring universe,
             In the sea of implausibility                         Trigonometry and calculus understand our world

             Governed by the laws unknown,                        With their eloquent symbols and craft.
             Where did we come from,

             Where should we go?                                  It is an extraneous solution to the myriad of
                                                                  possible solutions,
                                                                  A fabric was proudly worn by those who govern the
             Who conceptualised the universe?                     universe,
             Why is the universe the way we perceive it?


                                                                  The exceedingly odd concept of physics
             Planets floating in a pond held by its own massive   Or the trivial approach to chemistry,
             mass
                                                                  Fabrication of mathematics in the universe is not
             Small satellites in the lagoon of admiration and     frivolous
             curiosity
                                                                  Or impractical in the contempt of daily chores
             Rough, rocky asteroids
                                                                  Math is the ocean within which resides the
             Colliding with each other for infinity.              boundless cosmos.



             In a limitless world beyond our perception,
             What makes us special?



             A treacherous path to discovery
             Astronauts and cosmonauts, fighting the unknown
             to reach glory,
             Nations celebrating the joy of man beyond land,

             We admire those who didn’t falter, those who never
             gave up
             Yet we forget the theory that led us to the path of
             victory,
             Math
