  1. Indeed? We can move from functions to relations, then...
  2. You are really nice to say so. Sometimes, the last stanza is the very devil to write.
  3. All my math teachers were clever, older gents. Not enough to distract me, I'm afraid. You were fortunate.

    Use this spice on you dishiest favorite...erm, favorite dish, I mean. Enjoy it often! Thanks for reading!
  5. A private lesson with a willing student? Surely that could be arranged. And one of the first lessons is on Functions.... Thanks so much for commenting and for reading these.

    Thank you, Lux. Glad you liked it.

    The Fifty Quid

    Okay, I am now officially not liking Tyrone. He is more than merely arrogant, he's dangerous. He may need to be registered with the RSPCA if he has a tendency to bite. Has he had his shots? And Andy is unlikely to be there in time for the first hymns in church at this rate...

    The Brat

    What a great chapter - we get a bit more info on Andy, and we get to hate on Tyrone. So easy, too. What a good thing I am not a pop star....

    The Apprentice

    That was fun! Lots of interesting characterizations and commentary. And then the bomb gets dropped! Great last line. I'm intrigued!

    Now that you mention it....no.

    Yes, well, I may have to find a way to crowd more spices onto the rack. It is getting rather tight, isn't it? Thanks so much for your comment, and for reading this one!

    I like the word Primal here - it fits perfectly. It is exactly the characterization I was looking for. Thank you for reading my mind. I may have to build another shelf if I want to add more spices, though...

    But the heat is worthwhile, isn't it? Thanks for reading this one!
  14. I am glad you got a chuckle from these. The meanings were perhaps more forward than in some poems, though as my professors used to say, the solutions aren't trivial. Nobody likes dreary days filled with rote calculation, but I was hoping readers might come to appreciate the frolic in mathematics that can happen from time to time. One can even do Pre-Calculus calisthenics, I understand. Thanks so much for reading and commenting on these!
  15. I can save you a seat this semester, if you like. I am glad that you thought these interesting and clever. Thank you very much for reading them!
  16. You had a hot math teacher? Lucky you! Or maybe I would have been dreadfully distracted had I been in your place. But who says there is no feeling in the nerd herd? I am glad you got the gist of these; as it happens with mathematical language, the terms often can be interpreted in several...interesting... ways. Thanks again.
  17. Who says math has to be dry as toast? No need for a calculator or a slide rule! I am so glad you liked the parameter line, and that last stanza, too. Those are sometimes tricky to write - harder than solving equations. You were nice to let me bring back memories from high school Algebra class.
  18. Definitely to be studied in pairs. Thanks so very much for reading these through and allowing me to dredge up memories of high school math. Never realized what was concealed behind those pocket protectors, eh?
  19. I'll save you a seat, just in case you change your mind...
  20. (Smiles that math teacher smile) Pre Cal is Introduction to Cool Math Stuff... At least in my class, anyway.

    Some mornings start out warmer in the summer. And I just couldn't resist adding one more...Thank you for this lovely comment!
  22. Oh dear...I can't imagine you broken by math, my friend. Perhaps you can join my Pre Calculus class this fall? I am glad you can still see something good in them, anyhow.
  23. I am very, very glad you liked that line. I doubt my school administration will let me use this one in class.

    Chapter 19

    I loved this pivotal chapter. Just saying...

    Whispers, lips chasing lips, tongues and teeth tantalize, wild eyed desire in hot pursuit of love; Behold the quarry at bay, brought to ground; the blade, unsheathed, plunges; hunter and prey cry out.
