ENGL 2707
Let Me Count the Ways: Poetry and Mathematics

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Homer and Euclid, Stein and Einstein, manifestos and manifolds, "negative capability" and "imaginary numbers." This seminar exists somewhere in the ampersand between "Arts & Sciences" and will concern the study of numbers, poetic and otherwise. We will consider poets from a range of global traditions as theorists and makers of numerical patterns, and explore mathematical texts for their ludic and literate foundations. With help from diverse ethno-mathematical traditions and contemporary literary/number theorists, we will study, for example, quirky verse constructed around the Fibonacci sequence but also, and more crucially, we will learn how to count on one another as readers.
