Thread Name: Hey! I CAN sing!
Subject: RE: Hey! I CAN sing!
I liked Miguel's song so much, I wrote a parody of it. Unfortunately there's not much of an audience for it, won't be until the day they start holding math conferences at folk festivals, but here it is:

Here are squares and triangles, here are cubes and quadrangles
Here are measures of volume, of surface, and path
Here are bold exponentials, and smooth differentials
And circumferentials - the people have Math!

Chorus:

Let us spring into action at the sight of subtraction
Let us cry, "Archimedes!" as we bolt from the bath
See the exponents rise, computing their size
With our thetas and pis - the people have Math!

There's a second stanza, but I think I'll quit while I'm behind.
