The ‘Stupidity’ of √2
Silvanos Chirume
Published : Jan. 19, 2023

Abstract
This poem is deemed suitable for mathematics students and teachers, lecturers and teacher educators of either college or university undergraduate levels. The poem is intended to encourage teaching and learning of mathematics (e.g., number theory and proofs) and this could be achieved more effectively through humour (which ‘warms’ the classroom environment and reduces fear and anxiety), historical anecdotes, research (to discover new knowledge and verify given points as true or false), innovation, and application. The poem can be recited, acted or dramatised or transformed into a video to be shared amongst the learners. Modern learning theories advocate for learning mathematics in a variety of ways and integrating it with other subjects, and through this poem, student motivation, self assessment and a thorough grasp of the subject matter are envisaged more through action (researching, performing and recitation) rather than only through listening. Thus, the poem contributes to the body of knowledge on constructivist and integrated learning.
