math poems

Came across these on the web.

((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^(1/2))) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

A Dozen, a Gross and a Score
plus three times the square root of four
divided by seven
plus five times eleven
equals nine squared and not a bit more

--John Saxon (an author of math textbooks)

\int_(1)^(sqrt(3)) z^2 dz cos(3pi/9) = ln e^(1/3)

The integral of z squared dz
from 1 to the square root of 3
times the cosine
of 3 pi over 9
equals log of the cube root of e
