Investigation of mathematical terms and concepts in Persian poetry with emphasis on the Divans of Khaqani, Anvari, Mas'ud Sa'd, and Nizami مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

This research has attempted to resolve the ambiguity of verses by examining mathematical vocabulary and concepts in the poetry of four great Persian poets (Anvari, Khaqani, Masud Sa'd, and Nizami). In our dear country, for centuries, attention to various sciences, especially mathematics and counting and quantity mechanisms, has been at the center of Iranian scholars' thought; the evidence for this claim is the names of Iranian scientists in the history of science books, great figures such as Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, Khayyam, Abu Rayhan, Abu Nasr Farabi, Khwaja Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, Jamshid Kashani, Qutb al-Din Shirazi, and hundreds of Iranian thinkers who not only invented and derived certain rules but also in the completion and perfection (1)-Mahmoud Neshat. He wept so bitterly from sweet love#That the sound of his crying became twenty out of twenty (Khosrow and Shirin-p 264) That day when the moon went to the garden#As if the moon had completed two weeks of every seven (Layla and Majnun-p 498) The play of the world is like the weakening of chess calculation#Though they seek its end, they do not truly see it (Khaghani-p 96) At dawn, your image has made prostration#Thousands upon thousands of eyes have seen it (Anvari-p 183) Arabic Numbers in Persian The Dari Persian language, which was a modified form of the Parthian and Sassanid Pahlavi languages, laid a foundation by choosing the Arabic script for writing; based on documents, it can be claimed that it was the cultural and religious language of Muslims living outside the Hejaz Peninsula. Among them, Khaghani, Anvari, Masud Sa'd, and Nizami, who were the great poets of the Azerbaijani and Khorasani styles, have extensively used mathematical terms and concepts in their poems, and this very application has caused difficulty in understanding their poetry.
