Pi Day
I would like to thank those who put the words into the mouth of Malarbor for recognizing Pi Day. Although I am generally not disposed to engaging in the evils of mathematics, the contest to see who could recite the most digits of Pi was very rousing, and I certainly enjoyed the Pi face-painting (I forced my Bible-thumping former math teacher to dig out the black from some unholy netherdrawer of her desk.)

Alas, Ryan, I'm a poor, "unsophisticated, uneducated, stubborn," Midwesterner. I'm not surprized that my poor simple prairie mind was too prudish to even consider a Bovine Muscle-slab and Fallacio Day.Which I suppose it is all for the best...except for a slim few, most every New Englander I've ever met was a terrible snob.

80 Pi
It's a bit late, but i've managed to memorize the first 80 digits of Pi last week.

That's almost as funny as the Quadratic Formula Song! After all, what's a really good math song without a grisly murder?

Oh, I don't know where it's located. My math teacher was just playing it one day in math class, on her computer (we were learning about parabolas and the like.) I could ask her what website she found it on, when I get back from spring break, if you don't mind waiting until the 27th.. I do, however, know the chorus:
" It's negative B plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four (a) (c)....over 2A! Over 2A! Over 2A!" Or something like that...
" It's negative B plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four (a) (c)....over 2A! Over 2A! Over 2A!" Or something like that...

I remember the quadratic formula song!! Though think the version I've heard is a bit different than the one you're referring to. It was on a tape with other various math related music, like the absolute value song...
X equals negative B, plus or minus radical B squared, minus four A C! *knock* *knock* knock* All over two A!

The quadratic formula is too simple. How about the solutions to the third order polynomial equation instead? (a*x^3+b*x^2+c*x+d=0)
x1 = -1/6*(-(36*c*b*a-108*d*a^2-8*b^3+12*a*(12*c^3*a-3*c^2*b^2-54*c*b*a*d+81*d^2*a^2+12*d*b^3)^(1/2))^(2/3)+12*c*a-4*b^2+2*b*(36*c*b*a-108*d*a^2-8*b^3+12*a*(12*c^3*a-3*c^2*b^2-54*c*b*a*d+81*d^2*a^2+12*d*b^3)^(1/2))^(1/3))/a/(36*c*b*a-108*d*a^2-8*b^3+12*a*(12*c^3*a-3*c^2*b^2-54*c*b*a*d+81*d^2*a^2+12*d*b^3)^(1/2))^(1/3)
