In summary, a math limerick is a humorous poem that follows the structure of a limerick but includes mathematical concepts or references. An example of a math limerick is "There once was a number named Pi, whose decimals never did die. Though they're infinite, just five make a myth, and that's 3.1415." Math limericks must follow the structure of a limerick and include mathematical concepts or references. They can be both educational and fun, providing a creative way to learn and incorporate math into poetry. Anyone can write a math limerick as long as they have knowledge of basic mathematical concepts and a sense of humor.

Can you figure out how to read this equation as a limerick?

[tex]\int_{1}^{\sqrt[3]{3}}t^2\ dt\cdot\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{9}\right)=\ln \sqrt[3]{e}[/tex]

Answer (in white, select to read):
Integral t-squared dt
From 1 to the cube root of 3
Times the cosine
Of 3 pi over 9
Equals log of the cube root of e

(It's true too)
