  • I parody of "I Will Survive" that I did with a couple of my friends for our Calculus and Physics classes.
    Lyrics:
    At first I was afraid, what could the answer be?
    It said given this position find velocity.
    So I tried to work it out, but I knew that I was wrong.
    I struggled; I cried, "A problem shouldn't take this long!"
    I tried to think, control my nerve.
    It's evident that speed's tangential to that time-position curve.
    This problem would be mine if I just knew that tangent line.
    But what to do? Show me a sign!
    So I thought back to Calculus.
    Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
    And to problems just like this.
    And just like that when I had given up all hope,
    I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
    And so now I, I will derive.
    Find the derivative of x position with respect to time.
    It's as easy as can be, just have to take dx/dt.
    I will derive, I will derive. Hey, hey!
    And then I went ahead to the second part.
    But as I looked at it I wasn't sure quite how to start.
    It was asking for the time at which velocity
    Was at a maximum, and I was thinking "Woe is me."
    But then I thought, this much I know.
    I've gotta find acceleration, set it equal to zero.
    Now if I only knew what the function was for a.
    I guess I'm gonna have to solve for it someway.
    So I thought back to Calculus.
    Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
    And to problems just like this.
    And just like that when I had given up all hope,
    I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
    And so now I, I will derive.
    Find the derivative of velocity with respect to time.
    It's as easy as can be, just have to take dv/dt.
    I will derive, I will derive.
    So I thought back to Calculus.
    Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
    And to problems just like this.
    And just like that when I had given up all hope,
    I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
    And so now I, I will derive.

      The amount of maths references to the amount of lines in the song are very similar, resulting in a very small common ratio. So no matter how far you push the limit, the amount of sequels to the series always converges back to 0.

At first it was funny, but as I watched for the 7th time (I do procrastinate a little), I realized it was telling me exactly what I needed to learn. I remembered the song at my exams aand didn't passed, obviously, there were plenty more than limits, derivatives and integral. But at least I smiled.

He could have went anywhere he wanted and majored in anything he wanted, but his love was film and I believe that is what he majored in. The other young man went to the University of Arkansas and got his degree in Electrical Engineering, and he is now a proud dad.

    The question doesn't make sense. First
    x(t) = -3x^3+27x^2+8x+10
    if x is the function then you can't just repeat x without mentioning the argument.
    Assuming every x is x(t) makes it a completely different story however.
    x(t) = -3 x(t)^3 + 27 x(t)^2 + 8 x(t) + 10
    x'(t) = ?
    Now that's a tricky question IMO.
    Though if he meant x(t) = -3 t^3 + 27 t^2 + 8t + 10
    then x'(t) is super easy, so easy I won't write it.

    I'm actually in college and I finished multivariable calculus last quarter (continuing with more math now). I didn't feel it was too hard, as it's mostly an extension of the same ideas used in differential and integral calculus. I also had a good professor, which helped a lot.
    I'm not majoring in chemistry (not math) but I agree that knowing math is worth the effort. You're right. you never start fresh :(

    This song... this song is the holy grail of math. Aced me in calculus XD and keeps pumping me through the rest of the maths XD. And yes, this is what goes through one's mind after 1 hour in the test.

    This song will permanently live rent free in my brain. I remember my brother played it for me and our mom when we were lost in Tennessee. Even though my mom was stressed, she found the song laughed and called it "doopy," a word we used for silly things. I was too young to know what derivatives were, but it still made me happy to listen and see everyone laughing. Even though this channel has long since been dead, I am thankful for the good memory this song gave me. Thank you for making this parody.

    Wow. Great lyrics. Very creative. We just released a math parody called "a little math ditty" set to jack and Diane. Kudos

    I’ve never taken Calculus, and I don’t plan on ever taking it (going into my senior year of hs now), but I still come back to this and re-watch it every once in a while. A true classic.

    Watched this video in Grade 10 and thought it was so compicated. Watching it again in Grade 12 it's so simple :D
