I Fell In Love With A Mathematician

·          By:Kiiza David Maclaren ·        I first saw her many multiples of 12 ago It was a calculus class in particular, There she was, seated next to the recursive solution As the professor explained the elegance of his theorem She seemed to me like the very elegance of miniaturized intervals I definitely had models of how to approach this entire system A mathematician will always sketch a solution, no matter how vague The hurdles were in properly modeling her feelings You see, mathematics girls have mastered the science of variables So I had to improvise tradeoffs and approximate her distributions carefully My first encounter was surely futile!
