Looking back: on February 12, 2011 I posted math-poetry suggestions for Valentine's Day at this link: Loving a mathematician (Valentine's Day and . . . ). This posting from Feb 9 2013 offers verse along with an animated drawing of a heart-curve --a cardioid. And this link goes to a mathematically poetic digital art exhibit (that includes a cardioid) by Guang Zhu.
For even more poetry related to the love-holiday, enter "Valentine" in the SEARCH box to the right. Enjoy!

Loving a mathematician (Valentine's Day and . . . )
A perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day -- especially for you who enjoy mathematics -- read (aloud and to each other) some "poems of love and mathematics." Such is easily possible, for the anthology, Strange Attractors: Poems of Love and Mathematics (A K Peters, 2008), edited by Sarah Glaz and me, contains words on the topic by more than 150 poetic voices.
