Abstract

Chapter 5 of the book "Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry" is presented. This chapter explains the mathematical concepts of proof, paradox, and infinity and their links to interpreting the structure and content of poems. It proposes that the hypothetical creation of literary forms can also follow mathematical patterns of abstract thinking. In relation to this, classic mathematical works have often been described in aesthetic terms such as lively, beautiful, and passionate.
