Math-women -- snowballing . . .

These syllable-snowball poems (increasing by one syllable from line to line)
note a few of the (living) math-women I admire.  
They are modest offerings --
not great poetry nor fully recognizing many accomplishments--  
but I want to start a ball rolling: 
look around you and notice the amazing math-women.

Pipher -- Math experiments, Pi


     'Tis a favorite project of mine
     A new value of pi to assign.
          I would fix it at 3
          For it's simpler, you see,
     Than 3 point 1  4  1  5  9.
