If your thesis is utterly vacuous
Use first-order predicate calculus.
   With sufficient formality
   The sheerist banality
Will be hailed by the critics: 'Miraculous!'

(Henry Kautz)

The integral of z squared dz
From one to the cube root of three,
   Times the cosine
   Of three pi over nine,
Is the log of the cube root of e.

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
   Divided by seven
   Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared, and not a bit more.

Pascal, though he had no bad vices, 
He did play a lot with his dice(s). 
   One day he was struck, 
   That good fortune and luck, 
Could succomb to mathematical devices. 

A mathematician from Boole,
Used to mispronounce words like a fool.
   He spoke of 'stastistics',
   And 'intragel' ballistics,
'Yuler' circles and 'Hospital's' rule.

There was a maths student called Hector,
Who couldn't tell scalar from vector.
   'I'm quite at a loss
   To tell a dot from a cross --
I ought not to work in this sector.'

A mathematician named Hall
had a hexahedronical ball.
   The cube of its weight,
   times his pecker plus eight
is his phone number.  Give him a call!
