Topical

Topics I researched today for the poem I'm working on:

1) the properties of titanium;
2) whether Jesus spoke Aramaic or Hebrew:
3) pentagonal numbers (from Wikipedia; the number of distinct dots in a pattern of dots consisting of the outlines of regular pentagons with sides up to n dots, when the pentagons are overlaid so that they share one vertex).

Examples of Pentagonal Number

    Examples of  Pentagonal Number
There are 22 distinct dots in the given pentagonal figure. So, 22 is a pentagonal number (from http://www.icoachmath.com/math_dictionary/pentagonal_number.html)


I love poetry!
