MEET PI

Post by Cropduster » Thu Feb 05, 2015 4:01 am

MEET PI

This circle math is killing me
This is the reason why
I'm fine with sums and minuses
but no matter how I try
This symbol keeps confusing me
I thought that I would cry
The day my teacher tried to teach me pi

This squiggly little symbol
is just doing in my head
Looks nothing like a number but
more like a tiny shed
I'm feeling pretty hungry so
give me pie charts instead
My teacher keeps on trying to teach me pi

The inside of a circle is
pi r squared I'm told
And 2 pi r the measurement
the distance round a hole
This never ending talk of pi
just drives me up the wall
My teacher won't stop trying to teach me pi

A quadratic equation can
At worse make me irate
Serve me up some calculus
I'll start to salivate
Pi will always be the thing
I dearly love to hate
My teacher won't stop trying to teach me pi

:lol: Love it - maths was never my thing, and that's an understatement. Interestingly enough, and very fortunately, I've never needed a lot of the parts of it that I went through such angst over at school!

STOP IT Allan, you will give me nightmares. I couldn't wait to give it up at school.

Catherine, you and me both :)
