Infinitesimals Poem by John Sensele

In awe I bow to Gottfried Leibnitz
Who for Calculus confirmation confronted Isaac Newton
In a blistering brain battle blitz
By the month, by the week, by the tangent tone

I immortalize if I should cannonize Calculus
When huge numbers flee Riemmann Spaces rigour
Joining in droves an exodus to Unilus
Preferring by telepathy to pull the trigger

Breaking the lucidity and logic of the logarithm
To fete facile factorization
Claiming in there lies the breath of biorhythm
I label arrogant amortization, pedantry polarization

Swerving, unnerving
Humanity' s march towards indefinite integration
If perforce I should shamble, delving
Into covert contemplation of differentiation

From first principles
Through the Calculus of functions of functions
Via product rule and quotient rule principals
To the grandeur inherent in differential equation eruditions.
