I recently learned of a book by creative writer Kellie Krumrie entitled Math Class (Calamari Press, 2022) -- a book of essays that feature teen-age girls. Exploring further I found poetry by Krumrie in La Vague -- an online feminist journal that has ceased publication BUT retains online records of previously published work.
Here is one of Krumrie's poems which I am enjoying puzzling over!
c e m e n t / e m m y n o e t h e r by Kellie Krumrie
‘She had the faculty of visualizing remote, very complex connections without resorting to concrete examples.’
She began The history of twentieth-century images
investigating in particle physics is the history of a field
the structure whose interests have moved away from what
of the noncommutative can be shown in pictures:
algebras, away from resemblance
their representations and representation,
by linear and into many other
transformations, kinds of images that
and their application are ultimately mathematical.
to the study of commutative The real complexity of these images
number fields is the complexity of leaving the image
and their arithmetics. and finding meanings that the message can no
longer contain.
Kelly Krumrie teaches creative writing at New Mexico State University -- and information about her work (often focusing on the intersection of fiction, poetry, and visual art with mathematics and science) is available here,
Emmy Noether is one of my most-admired math people -- and she is featured in earlier blog postings that can be found at this link.
