Recently Google led me to a recent and fascinating article about Jordanian poet Dr. Zaina Al-Qasem, a Jordanian scholar, who combines data science with creativity and is also a published poet. For her, mathematics and poetry share thought patterns — both driven by interpretation, structure, and the search for meaning, but through different lenses.
Here are a few reflective lines of Zaina Al-Qasem's verse -- found in the article linked-to above -- lines that capture both introspection and intent.
Looking through the window
watching the world go by
I walk with the universe on me...
it's the wings with which I fly
Let your goal be your purpose
trust yourself and you will win
Greatness comes from greater work,
better minds and better men.
More information about Al-Qasem is available here at her academic website. And here is a link to a video featuring her.
