CREATIVE MATHEMATICS WITH POETRY AND HUMOUR

R. Prabhu

Abstract

This article deals with creative phenomenon of Mathematics. Each problem could be easily solved if it is presented in a readable, understandable format. Thus by virtue of poetry and humour, the so called “Difficulties” in solving problems in Mathematics would be resolved and become “Pleasure” in solving problems. Before solving any problem in mathematics, the core of the problem should be understood. Thus creative mathematics not only yields very good results in solving mathematical problems but also makes the mind relaxed and joyous.
