In February now, Black History Month, I look back to one of my favorite poets, Langston Hughes (1902-1967) and bring to you, again, one of his mathy poems:
Addition by Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
7 x 7 + love =
An amount
Infinitely above:
7 x 7 − love.
Hughes' poem "Addition" is found in Strange Attractors: Poems of Love and Mathematics (A K Peters/CRC Press, 2008) and was first posted in this blog on February 20, 2011.
