When a person speaks of mathematics and poetry in the same sentence. I am interested -- and recently I came across an early-May financial article by Jason Ma which met that condition; its title and subtitle are:
‘Quant King’ Jim Simons (1938-2024) was a math and investing genius, but also a management wiz. Here are some of his lessons on leadership . . .
The article contains five "guiding principles" -- and I have grouped the words of the 3rd principle (which includes mathematics and poetry) into the following syllable-count triangular poem:
Be
guided
by beauty --
true in doing
mathematics or
writing poetry, but
also true in fashioning
an organization that runs
extremely well, accomplishes its
mission with excellence. Hope for good luck!
