Established in honor of math-popularizer Martin Gardner (1914-2010), Celebration of the Mind Day occurs on October 21 each year. Lots of interesting information about Gardner and the celebration-day may be found at this link. This link leads to previous postings in this blog that feature Gardner and his work. Not a poet, Gardner called himself "an occasional versifier" and here is an example:
π goes on and on
And e is just as cursed
I wonder, how does π begin
When its digits are reversed?
For an array of mathy connections that celebrate the mind and stretch it, explore the links offered above!
