I am now, officially, a published poet!
My poem on imaginary numbers (The Mathematical “i”) was published in the March 2013 issue of At Right Angles, a school mathematics journal. You can read my poem on my website here: The Mathematical “i”
You can download the entire issue here (it is a large download) or view the magazine in sections here.

Three important questions that we often seek answers for are: WHAT is it?WHEN should we do it?WHERE should it happen? Turns out these questions can be answered just by replacing just one letter—namely replace "W" with "T." Here they are: ThatThenThere Simple. Here is...
TCRecord has an interesting essay on the role of games and learning, by Alexander, Eaton & Egan, titled: Cracking the code of electronic games: Some lessons for educators. As they say, "This is an analytic article that provides a description of an array of...
Failed Haiku Five syllables firstSecond one has seven moreA failed Haiku! So close... almost had it. In keeping with the meta-theme, here is another one, written many years ago, and lightly edited by Danah Henriksen. Turvy-Topsy limerick This limerick-wiseHas not...
We have all heard the statement that "less is more" and in many instances that may actually be true. Good design, for instance, often is based on the KISS principle, which, come to think of it, maybe an example of Less is More. That said, there may be situations where...
While searching for information for my previous posting on using eclipses to see, I came across an interesting paper that provided yet another way of figuring out the shape of the Earth. Lynch, D.K. (2005). Turbulent ship wakes: further evidence that the Earth is...

I love your poem Mathematical i. I’d like to use it in a class assignment for my graduate class at McDaniel College in Maryland. The course is Reading in the Content Area II and we need to develop a Reading-to-Write Assignment for our content area.
Kim, Please feel free to use the poem in your class. That would be awesome! The only thing is that I would prefer you use this page http://punyamishra.com/2010/01/12/the-mathematical-i/ rather than the magazine layout. I didn’t like the fact that they center-aligned the entire poem. That was not my vision of what the poem should look like. If you want I can send you the poem as a separate pdf. Thanks again ~ punya
