Mathematica - Enter Integrand

My class project for AP Calculus. It's a parody of "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. That's me on the right, playing the bass. Yes, I am fully aware that we do not sound as good as Metallica. You are obviously missing the post-modern element of the video; we are not *trying* to sound as good as Metallica. Obviously.

Lyrics:

ENTER INTEGRAND

[Verse 1]
Show your work, little mind
Don't forget this time
To include every sign

I check your math, make you laugh
Answer things you ask
But it's your job to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
Study all your functions
We've got a quiz tonight

[Chorus]
Integrate
Calculate
Solve for y
Derive it or just say goodbye

[Verse 2]
This is bad; twenty-one
Points off your score sum
And I'm not even done

Where were you during class?
Playing in the grass
'cause you don't think math's fun?
(Well...)

[Pre-Chorus]
Hope you're real familiar
With trigonometry

[Chorus]
Integrate
Calculate
Solve for y
Derive it or just say goodbye

[Bridge]
Negative b
(Negative b)
Plus or minus the square root
(Plus or minus the square root)
b squared minus 4ac
(b squared minus... what now?)
b squared minus 4ac!
(Ahh! b squared minus 4 ac!)
All over 2a.
(All over 2a. Okay, got it.)

Focus student, don't make a mistake
You really should have stayed awake
That thing about magnetic force
Lies outside the scope of this course

[Chorus Variation]
Integrate
Calculate
Use 2 pi

[Chorus]
Integrate
Calculate
Solve for y
Derive it or just say goodbye

"Bloopers" (otherwise known as miserable failures of a guitar and bass solo, respectively) may follow if I can figure out how to get them off the camera.

Nice lyrics but the bassist is offbeat : /

[theevilamoeba]

Yeah... there are several factors that made this whole performance rather sub-par if you look at it objectively.

However, as a bassist, I appreciate your constructive criticism!

[1813spencer1813]

this is amazing

my calculus teacher showed us this during class today

[theevilamoeba]

Wow. What an honor!

Yeah. It's weird for me to look back on this video after a year. I'm equally proud of myself and disappointed. Maybe I need to make a sequel.
