To me you were
neither arithmetic of love,
simple and pure,
nor algebra of feelings,
moved by factors such as boredom,
convenience or fear
elements of the granitic equations
Family and Future

In a life which is a continuous
division by zero
dominated by transforms
and curves gone mad over Cartesian axes,
behind which complicated functions -
better to say fictions -
raise themselves
as corrupt solvers
of every decision
to be had.

Only escaping from these equations
from conceited postulates
from Pythagorean infallibility
from the minus sign dictatorship
from words, periodic figures
from fear, logarithms
from illusion, complex numbers

It is going back to the abacus
that maybe I will have you
but now you are for me
a beautiful theorem
that only I am able to demonstrate
letting the chalk run
on a slate blackboard.
A columnade of numbers and operations
which spits in the face of the pretentious
exact science
all the explosive beauty
of the Slavic mathematics.

many thanks to James Haddock, Reno, NV, for the translation review

  • I really woudl love to see how your kids will get through Algebra or for that matter how Newton would have Invented Calculus had it not been for the "pretentious" math of Euclid and Pythagoras.. HA HA HA !!! Ive seen stupider videos i suppose..

    And whats with the "Slavic Math" LOL! 1* for ignorance

  • it has nothing to do with your wars between greeks and slavs, man. that's a love poem based on paradoxes and if you can't get the sense, it's not for MY ignorance.

  • This is a fantastic film, I found it for free here: WATCHMOVIES4FREE |DOT| ORG

  • is it kama the indian god of plesure? :)

    no matter to whom is referred to, it is a really nice delirium of words,well done.

  • Eksi diktatörlüğünün şaşmaz kibirli Pisagor varsayımlarından, sözcelerden, korkunun periodik rakamlarından, yanılsama logaritmalarından, karmaşık sayılarından,

    sadece bu denklemlerden kaçarak abaküse gidecek ve belki de sana sahip olacağım ama şimdi benim için karatahta üzerinde ispatına çalıştığım enfes bir teoremsin

    Çok bilmiş pozitif bilimlerin ve Slav matematiğinin bütün tahrip edici güzelliğinin yüzüne tüküren bir rakam ve işlem dizgesi

    Matematiksel Sayıklama

    Benim için sen ne aşkın basit ve saf aritmetiği

    ne de

    can sıkıntısı, korku ya da uyum, aile ve geleceğin granit denklemlerinin elementleriyle yerinden oynatılan duyguların cebiriydin

    Ardında alınmış her bir kararın yanlış çözümlerinin kendilerini karmaşık topladığı, dönüşümlerin ve Kartezyen eksenler üzerinde çıldırmış eğimlerin hüküm sürdüğü sürekli sıfıra bölünen bir hayatta,
