Christmas Math Songs

[Ikerous]

My calc teacher rather enjoys making up math songs and then singing them to the class. Its really quite entertaining, i figured id post the Christmas ones, they're neat. There are two of em, ill post the second one after i finish typing it up.

Riemann Sums
(To the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

Chorus:
Riemann Sums, Riemann Sums
Counting Areas, of rectangles who widths get small
We learn to count them all,
Hey
(Repeat)

In geometry, we take a base time height,
But Calculus will use, an endpoint on the right.
You find a delta x, times f of x "i" star
You calculate, do algebra, it really isn't hard.

Chorus

Our three Goddesses, help limit all the sums,
We look for ratios, it's really lots of fun.
It equally on top, and bottom we do find,
Miss Halle Berry guides, the limit in our mind.
If bottoms get quite large, we call on dear J Lo,
As "n" goes to infinity, our limit is zero.

Chorus

We learn to integrate, it's really lots of fun.
It's easier to do, than those old Riemann sums.
To Newton and Liebniz, our thanks we do bestow.
Hop into my box, with a power plus one we go.
We learn to sub a "u" when things just aren't easy.
Trig functions, exponentials, ln, just don't forget the "C".

(Alternate Last Verse)
Derivatives are great, they help us find our rates,
But these old Riemann sums, can cause me quite heartbreak.
I'd rather conjugate, an essay i will write.
If I know my vocab, I know I'll be alright.
Dear Old Stan the Can, please grant me one last wish.
Stempson, I would rather be in A.P. Eng-a-lish.

Just the idea of any of my old math teachers singing at the front of the class makes me laugh.

*shuders*


Oh yeah...

 

[Ikerous]

I can't be the only one who loves singing about math...
Its so neat ^_^

OH, CALCULUS, OH CALCULUS

Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
How tough are your two branches!
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
To pass, what are my chances?
Derivatives I cannot take,
At integrals, my fingers shake.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
How touch are your two branches!

Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
Your theorems I can't master.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
My proofs are a disaster.
You pull a trick out of the air
And Find a reason, God knows where.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
Your theorems I can't master.

Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
Your problems do distress me.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
Relates rates depress me.
I cut out boxes in my sleep
And max and min do make me weep.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
Your problems do distress me.

Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
My limit I am reaching.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
For mercy I'm Beseeching
My grades do not approach a B.
They're just a delta x from D.
Oh, Calculus, Oh, Calculus,
My limit I am reaching.

 

[Stigmata]

Genius!

I love those songs.

 

[qckbeam]

Wow...awesome!

Second one is quite uplifting

ha ha, me too
You'd think your teacher was mad... he'd be harrassed out of the school by the kids lol

My German teacher made us sing some Christmas songs down the hallways of our school in German, of course. I was embarrassed.

I had to recite Latin poetry to an assembly

 

[blahblahblah]

ROFL. That's great.

 

[Ikerous]

Wow...awesome!

Second one is quite uplifting

Yup, nuthin more cheery than knowin you're gunna fail calc ^_^ :bounce:

I like the first one, but its prolly confusing since it has inside jokes in it
Like wtf J Lo and Halle Berry have to do with calc..
And it talks about stan the can

Stan the can is goin out with rita the recycling bin.

Dismissing my 6th grade bio teacher who taught us the quadratic formula to the tune of "Row row row your boat", my favorite is a little - inside-jokey.

(to the tune of Jingle Bells)
Math is fun, math is fun,
it's never ever boring
makes me want to jump for joy
every single morning!

I can't wait, I can't wait,
can't wait to get to school,
'cuz I know Mr. [guy's name],
and he's really cool.

Mr. [guy's name] is always right,
smartest teacher in the world,
he never gives free time,
not even to the girls!

And though he may be tougher
than a killer shark
still oh what fun it is to take
math at [school name that fits perfectly ]

Whenever we were particularly depressed about our prospects of passing, he'd sing this. That or do one-handed pushups, or rush the door of the portable building we were in, just like back in his football days.

It's not my fault I'm screwed up

 

[xLostx]

you scare me deeply.
