Nursery Rhymes

 

In Spring 2011, I assigned the class to write a nursery rhyme for the EML3041 Computational Methods course based on the nursery rhyme - One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.  Here is their attempt.


 

One, two,

Find the root

Three, four,

Watch that error

Seven, eight,

Bisect the equation

Nine, ten,

Interpolate the answer!
