A Finite Simple Group of Order Two: Funny Math Song

November 16, 2006 in Entertainment, Logic/Math | 5 comments

Yet another reason why I’m a total dork. If you don’t understand what’s going on just laugh when the people in the video laugh. Trust me, it’s funny. Also, this is actually what you do in graduate school. :)

Watch the music video here.

Wow… that’s all I can say.

The scary part is that three years after leaving Physics I still get most of the humor….

Funny, I must admit, though I’m sure I didn’t catch all of the jokes. I must not be dork enough.

Sounds like something They Might Be Giants would do.

I had a math teacher in high school that used to make up songs for every subject we would cover. I still remember the one that went “I have a compunction to do a function…” This one is much better, though.

I’ve never claimed to be any good at math, but I was disappointed in myself when I didn’t get any of the jokes in the song.

However, is it just my eyes and the grainy quality of the video, or did the guy on the far left look like a lanky Frank Battista, the guy in the middle a smaller Justin Arbes, and the guy on the far right a shorter Matt Fabin?
