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.

I recently received an email from a teacher in Poland, seeking advice for a curriculum outline for their Design Technology Section. They said, and I quote: Unfortunately, I have minimal experience with the subject as a teacher or as a student in my younger years,...
A design for the word "illusions" inspired by a design by Scott Kim. I have been obsessed with optical illusions for for a long time. This interest has played out in many ways: from the hundreds of ambigrams I have created to the new year’s videos we create as a...

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
