One of my former colleagues at Pennsylvania's Bloomsburg University is statistician Reza Noubary. This Iran-born mathematician has a love of poetry as well as mathematics and here are a few lines from his recent collection, Feelings and Dealings (Archway Publishing, 2020).
In a math book there is wisdom.
In a theorem there is a kingdom.
No solution can be made up or faked.
The reasoning buys you freedom.
There is a secret in every equation that provokes curiosity and passion.
To uncover it we need to see its beauty and realize
its worth to complete the mission.
The outcome is refreshing; it always results in long-term compassion.
It is satisfying as participants understand its
logic and its beautiful expression.
Thank you, Reza, for these words.
