One of my favorite poets is the great Persian poet & mathematician, Omar Khayyám (18 May 1048 – 4 December 1131). He is the author of one of the most important treatises on algebra written before modern times, and a brilliant poet. I memorized Fitzgeralds translation of the Rubaiyat when I was a young kid! Wake! For the Sun, who scatterd into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heavn, and strikes The Sultans Turret with a Shaft of Light.
