Math-Poems by Students

Introduction These poems were written by students in response to the writing exercise I gave when I was a guest speaker in Marion Cohen’s “Mathematics in Literature” class at Arcadia University in Glenside, PA.

4.1 Vector Spaces & Subspaces - University of Connecticut

4.1 Vector Spaces & Subspaces Many concepts concerning vectors in Rn can be extended to other mathematical systems. We can think of a vector space in general, as a collection of objects that behave as vectors do in Rn. The objects of such a set are called vectors. A vector space is a nonempty set V of objects, called vectors, on which are ...

incorporate knowledge from a seemingly unrelated area of mathemat-ics { Topology. Topology, like usual geometry deals with shapes, but unlike geometry, the shapes are not rigid and may be deforemd (This is a very unpro esional de nition). For example, a cube and a ball are topologically equivalent, but both are not equivalent to a donut.

ciphers and was used by Julius Casar. Each let-ter in a message is simply replaced by the letter coming three letters after it in the alphabet. Obvious problem: What about x, y and z? Obvious solution: Replace them with a, b and c. We may make this somewhat quantitative by assigning a numerical value to each letter: 0 to A, 1 to B, 2 to C ...

deposit $85 per month, and continue this until your 65th birthday, how much will you have in your account? Solution: This depends on your current age, obviously, so let’s assume you do this starting when you turn 21. Then on your 65th birthday you’ve been making deposits for t …

eigenspaces equals n, and this happens if and only if the dimension of the eigenspace for each k equals the multiplicity of k. c. If A is diagonalizable and k is a basis for the eigenspace corresponding to k for each k, then the total collection of vectors in the sets 1, , p forms an eigenvector basis for Rn. 6.
