"The Laws of Nature Are But The Mathematical Thoughts of God

The poem describes how the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid developed geometry by drawing circles and shapes in the sand and discussing them with fellow mathematicians. Though Euclid lived long ago, the mathematical rules and principles of geometry he established still apply today in measuring and understanding the world. The poem emphasizes that geometry is a practical and visible form of mathematics that can be used to understand shapes in everyday life.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God There is no royal road to geometry..

Old Euclid drew a circle On a sand-beach long ago. He bounded and enclosed it With angles thus and so. His set of solemn greybeards Nodded and argued much Of arc and circumference, Diameter and such. A silent child stood by them From morning until noon Because they drew such charming Round pictures of the moon.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

Euclid dreamed of measuring stuff, many years ago. He wrote down all the rules for us a method he would show. The world seemed flat back in his day, But all his rules still hold today. He called his math geometry its math for you and me. It was geometry measure the earth, you see. Its math thats real for me - angles and symmetry. Postulates still are true tell us just what to do. This much I know is true Geometry is the math I want to teach to you! Through the years, they added more, with each new theorem found. All those Greeks had found the door to prove the earth was round. This math still rules the world today, With all the shapes along our way.

This is the math, geometry its math that you can see .
