Original composition. Music by Wayne, lyrics by Erfan, Jonathan, Ali, and Wayne. Video directed by Ali.


The Quotient Rule - Leibniz's Notation

Lyrics:

Quotient, quotient, quotient, quotient rule
q(x) is f(x) over g(x),
First you differentiate f(x),
Then you do the same for g(x),
Now you dont know what to do.
You gotta use the quotient rule.

Differentiate of q(x) is d/d(x).
The differentiate of f(x) times g(x)
Minus differentiate of g(x) multiplied by f(x)
But thats not all of it, cos thats only in the numerator
Can someone tell me what the hells on the denominator?
Thats right, its [g(x)]2.
Miss Woi, tell me, can I swear?

So now you wanna see an example.
q(x) is (3x2 4x 4), whole things over (2x3+1)
Gotta use the quotient rule.
So the answers (2x3+1)(6x-4) subtract with (3x2-4x-4),
times [the bottoms [g(x)]2] x of 6 to the power of 2 [6x2],
So what did I do?
You used the quotient rule,
The best(est) tool,
Dont be a fool,
Learn it cos its way too cool,
Quotient, quotient, quotient, quotient, the quotient rule.

Notes:

The song was recorded in a total of 3 hours, as was the video. I recorded the instruments (basically just 3 different guitar tracks) separately at home in less than an hour, and we recorded our vocal parts in college at the AV Room in the library. We then recorded our clips in different areas of the college.

All the tracks were recorded using a Micro BR recorder and were edited afterwards using Adobe Audition. Two versions were made - the second one with a longer looped intro with effects and different compression settings. That's the one used with this video. The audio quality is inferior to the first version.
