Tom Lehrer can die in peace, now that the heir to his great tradition of mathematical musical doggerel (also this and this) has emerged from the steaming bowels of YouTube. Behold! And pay attention, class, because there’s going to be a short quiz next period.

Lyrics over the jump

Analytic and Algebraic Topology of local Euclidian Metrization

Four, three, two, one

Listen up, ya’ll, ’cause this is it
The numbers we’re making are so vicious

Mathmaticious expeditious can be kind of scary
I hope my answers aren’t radical or imaginary
I convert percents to fractions, it brings me some satisfaction
Like scientific notation and order of operations

Mathmaticious (repetitious)
Gets me expeditious
My answers may get vicious
My eraser’s left in stitches
I make wishes (woo-ah)
I get the answer right, right
And I’ll be staying up all night just to check what I write

Mathmaticious (The Pythagorean Theory)
Mathmaticious (Finds the hypotenuse for me)
Mathmaticious (Or I’ll use trigonometry)
I’m Mathmaticious (d-d-d-d-d-decimal, decimal)

Locus of the points
Locus of the points
Locus of the points (points is echoing)

I’m up about figuring out greatest common factors
And when I make a pie chart I’m in need of a protractor
The angle of elevation, thanks to my calculations
Turns out to be 43, a prime number

I’m Mathmaticious (Mathmaticious)
It makes me so ambitious
My answers are judicious
Calculator never glitches
It’s my mission
I get the answer right, right
And I’ll be staying up all night just to check what I write

Mathmaticious (What’s the probability?)
Mathmaticious (Of me not labeling my axis)
Mathmaticious (When graphing inequalities)
Mathmaticious (hold, hold, hold, hold, hold up, check your work)

Computing areas
Quadratic formula
Graphing parabolas
I think they’re all so cool
It’s my soul commitment
That I ace the Regents
Sin, cosine and tangent
Are my favorite tools

I divide, multiply, add, subtract, round off and simplify
I divide, multiply, add, subtract, round off and simplify
Is it whole? Rational? Factor out, substitute, solve for x
Is it whole? Rational? Factor, factor, factor, hit the pi key

It’s Mathmaticious (pi, pi, pi, pi)

I’m Mathmaticious, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d (pi, pi, pi, pi)
