Shimmering	Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune (71* d)	RE: Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune	07 Jun 17
Complex Numbers Song ... Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Argand diagram, They have seen the i's and thetas of De Moivre's mighty plan. Now I can find the complex roots with consummate elan, With the root of minus one. Chorus: Complex numbers are so easy Complex numbers are so easy Complex numbers are so easy With the root of minus one. In Cartesian coordinates the complex plane is fine, But the grandeur of the polar form its beauty doth outshine. You'll be raising i + 40 to the power of 99, With the root of minus one. You'll realise your understanding was just second rate, When you see the power and magic of the complex conjugate. Drawing vectors corresponding to the roots of minus eight, With the root of minus one. I don't know who wrote this. It was circulating on the internet in about 1995-6. I've also sung it around that same time.
