3) Little Boots - Mathematics

  Quote

Mathematics is a difficult thing

I never understood what was the missing link

And by the time I calculated the correct solution

The question had escaped me and so did the conclusion

 

So tell me everything must always equal two

Or nothing else is true

And I'll believe you

Cos your X is equal to my Y

But equations pass me by

 

So will you take just a little of my mind and subtract it from my soul

Add a fraction of your half and you'll see it makes me whole

Multiply it by the times that we've never been apart

You'll see nothing can divide just a heart plus a heart

 

A little of my mind

Take it from my soul

A fraction of your half

See it makes me whole

And multiply the times

Never be apart

Cos nothing can divide a heart plus a heart

 

Don't know my Fibonacci or Pythagoras

But the only formula I know will work for us is that

When we're together in the sum of our parts

It's far greater than what we added up to at the start

 

So tell me everything must always equal two

Or nothing else is true

And I'll believe you

Cos your X is equal to my Y

But equations pass me by

 

So will you take just a little of my mind and subtract it from my soul

Add a fraction of your half and you'll see it makes me whole

Multiply it by the times that we've never been apart

You'll see nothing can divide just a heart plus a heart

6) Kraftwerk - Pocket Calculator

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

I am adding and subtracting

I'm controlling and composing

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

I am adding and subtracting

I'm controlling and composing

By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody

By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

I'm the operator with my pocket calculator

cheating a bit perhaps, but...

Oh, I dunno, 'Music Is Math'.

Nothing comes near this one:

Because there are more mathematical objects than just (real) numbers.

Spacelab has got to be one of the best "sciency" songs out there. It would be the perfect soundtrack to some epic scientific research, mathematical or otherwise.

Jega - Geometry

Santa X i..... I liked that.
