Joanne Growney's Poetry-With-Mathematics Blog -- An Appreciation, Gregory E. Coxson
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
Now is a good time to work on the boundaries of practice and theory, of art and science. We are seeing a rising tide of interest in these boundaries. Witness the growing Bridges movement, which has been exploring the connections between mathematics and the arts. Similarly, JoAnne Growney's blog, Intersections -- Poetry with Mathematics, explores the connections between mathematics and poetry. Through this review, I aim to give readers a taste of what can be found in Intersections as a way of encouraging others, be they mathematicians, poets, or neither, to visit the blog.
Alexandria And The Construction Of Urban Experience, Sara L. Bacon
Alexandria And The Construction Of Urban Experience, Sara L. Bacon
Scripps Senior Theses
Early Ptolemaic Alexandria provides a unique perspective on cultural interactions during the Hellenistic Period. With this idea in mind, I have tracked the cultural affiliation of the city from its foundation through the early years of the Ptolemaic dynasty. In order to do this, both literary and archaeological evidence, including various foundation myths for the city, the poetry of Theocritus and Herodas, papyrological evidence as well as the city plan and archaeological remains of the Serapeum, were analyzed. Using this evidence, this thesis attempts to describe the cultural state of the ancient city and the surrounding area in its early …

T.S. Eliot's Anti-Modernism: Poetry And Tradition In The European Waste Land, John Bedecarré
T.S. Eliot's Anti-Modernism: Poetry And Tradition In The European Waste Land, John Bedecarré
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis hopes to contribute to a reconciliation of the apparent conflict between Eliot's conservative outlook and his formally innovative poetry. I do not advocate stripping Eliot of his modernist label. I would rather amend the term "modernism." This qualification is important because the modernist label carries connotations that simply do not do justice to Eliot. For example, the label implies that modernists wanted to move forward, away from the past. Eliot wanted to move backwards, partly because he felt other artists had left the past behind. In an essay introducing the early twentieth-century modernists, the Norton Anthology of British …
The "Not-So-Precisely Measured" Music Of The Middle Ages, Hendrik Van Der Werf
The "Not-So-Precisely Measured" Music Of The Middle Ages, Hendrik Van Der Werf
Performance Practice Review
Evidence from medieval writers, musical notation, and variant readings in the sources all suggest that troubadour and trouvere songs were performed in more or less equal note values and in a manner that presented the poetry clearly.

Interpretations Of Medievalism In The 19th Century: Keats, Tennyson And The Pre-Raphaelites, Shannon K. Wilsey
Interpretations Of Medievalism In The 19th Century: Keats, Tennyson And The Pre-Raphaelites, Shannon K. Wilsey
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis describes how different 19th century poets and artists depicted elements of the medieval in their artwork as a means to contradict the rapid progress and metropolitan build-up of the Industrial Revolution. The poets discussed are John Keats and Alfred, Lord Tennyson; the painters include William Holman Hunt and John William Waterhouse. Examples of the poems and corresponding Pre-Raphaelite depictions include The Eve of Saint Agnes, La Belle Dame Sans Merci and The Lady of Shalott.

Mathematical Constance (A Poem Dedicated to Constance Reid)
I think that I shall never see
A constant lovelier than e,
Whose digits are too great too state,
They're 2.71828…
And e has such amazing features
It's loved by all (but mostly teachers).
With all of e's great properties
Most integrals are done with … ease.
Theorems are proved by fools like me
But only Euler could make an e.
I suppose, though, if I had to try
To choose another constant, I
Might offer i or phi or pi.
But none of those would satisfy.
Of all the …
