Comment by robyn phiebig on December 16, 2010 at 8:21am Hi. I hope I win - I love amazon!! I love math too, I get such a kick out of it!
Hi again folks, and Happy Holidays! :) Already almost Christmas... huh. Time flies, most certainly. And I'm 99.99999999% sure of my A for the class -- given that I only need at 20 on my final to make a 97 for the final class grade, and I'm certain I got a 100 on it, yep, the grade is an A. Always a nice thing to see. :)

I was the December winner, and received the Amazon gift card in time for Christmas shopping.
It's been a pleasure dealing with you, and I support your math mission and your blog.
Best Regards

Question: Why is this a mathematical limerick?
( (12 + 144 + 20 + 3 Sqrt[4]) / 7 ) + 5*11 = 92 + 0 .
Answer:
A dozen, a gross, and a score,
plus three times the square root of four, divided by seven, plus five times eleven, is nine squared and not a bit more.
---Jon Saxton (math textbook author)
Presentation Suggestions:
Challenge students to invent their own math limerick!
The Math Behind the Fact:
It is fun to mix mathematics with poetry.
