Celebrating our mathematical thinking

Math Grows

Mathematics grows
For the pure joy of it
By solving problems
Nagging at your mind

Math comes first
Applications come second
Some problems are
Interesting to me

Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways
For the pure joy of it
Or from applications
Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways
Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways

Sometimes applications come first
And math comes second
Math also grows
From real-life problems

Both directions
Happen all the time
In mathematics
It’s all a big mix

Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways
For the pure joy of it
Or from applications
Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways
Mathematics grows
In all sorts of ways
