Hey! ‘Euler’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘crueler’!
[/Philistine]
Just out of curiosity, what jobs do you people have? Are they all maths professorships or similar, because I understood maybe 10% of this at a stretch…
Bear in mind that this thread is more than six months old, and that some people may no longer be around to answer you.
FWIW, I can identify some professional mathematicians, one geologist, some electrical engineers, and some post-grad physics students (who may have graduated by now for all I know).
That wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive list, BTW. There are some I can’t identify.

Yeesh, critics. I’d like to see you come up with a rhyme for “isosceles”.
(a) fall back to monosyllable rhyme. /eez/ is can be rhymed with ease.
(b) don’t end a rhymed line with “isosceles”.
You had options. Critics: game on.

The critics have spoken,
I see they’re not jokin’,
They’re claiming that I really ain’t the Wit.
I’d challenge their slander,
And answer with candor,
I can’t because this sadly ain’t the Pit.
Said Pericles, “It’s isosceles.”
In the Celebes, they’re all isosceles.
Said the old master orator Pericles,
To the triangle from out of the Clelebes,
Your angles are bent,
You are not heaven sent,
You’re only a shoddy isoceles.
Isosceles:
Two angles
With equal degrees.
Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Pekinese, Burmese, Cantonese, Isosceles.
Squeeze my cheese, isosceles. Appease my disease with antifreeze?
Hercules, Socrates, Diogenes, Iscosceles.
On Eker’s epitaph,
(In parentheses):
“Couldn’t rhyme
with isosceles”.
