Asymptote

Asymptote

Asymptote: the most unimaginable thing
to come
out of the sky and hit like a shooting star
reminding of my strife and struggle with the depth and precision of Math
and the most irrelevant things that pulled me away as I sat in the class
paying little attention to the task and the problem in hand,
drifting in the world of the unreal concepts and dreams.
Asymptote! The most poetic of all,
Even after all of college mathematics has evaporated, the asymptote still remains
like a lost memory from the nostalgic past,
like a lost sunshine coming back.
Someone brought it back: a cold definition :as all definitions are:
Asymptote: The distance between the curve and the line approaches zero (but is never zero) as both tend to infinity.
And who would say that mathematics lacked poetry?
