Today, April 30, is the final day of Mathematics Awareness Month 2014; this year's theme has been "Mathematics, Magic and Mystery" and it celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the most interesting men of mathematics; educated as a philosopher, Martin Gardner wrote often about mathematics and sometimes about poetry. Gardner described his relationship to poetry as that of "occasional versifier" -- he is the author, for example, of:
π goes on and on
And e is just as cursed
I wonder, how does π begin
When its digits are reversed?
