In the beginning<\/h1>\n

by Jim Lawry<\/p>\n

In the beginning G said let there be mathematics
\nAnd there was.
\nMy gift to the universe and to you She said
\nBut there are many secrets;
\nYou will lift the curtain slowly and with great effort
\nOnly over many eons
\nWill you discover them all.
\nBut your rewards will be plentiful.
\nShe created Pi and e and the square root of minus one.
\nAnd after her great labor she rested.<\/p>\n
