A cute mathematician showed me this video and sang this song to me, and we started dating. Almost 13 years later, now married, we watched this again tonight! Hope you’re all well. Thanks for this!
@@Phobophile When I (an applied mathematician who bailed on a PhD in favor of med school :P ) met my SO (an economics grad student who is way smarter than I am), I used a math "pickup line" I'd heard and found hilarious. While by the time I mentioned it we were already getting along swimmingly, it was a really nice bonding moment to realize that early on how much we both loved math. Context is everything, I guess. I can't believe I hadn't thought to show her this song yet, though. Fixing that later today.
Its an annual for me to try and recollect the name of the song, after scouring the internet for it and finally finding it. This is probably my third year doing this now.
I actually love the little 'QED' square he makes with his hands at the end much, much more than the sincerely overused heart shape. It's a neat ending.

This was uploaded to youtube on the day i was born. I don't fully understand most of the references but this video is still awesome! I hope i will one day understand all the references.
Let me help you. Pick math major and take abstract algebra, basic category theory,tensor calculus, algebric geometry and real analysis 1. U should understand well after.
Possible the most subtle was referencing Zorn`s Lemma with the ``Upper bound in the chains of my heart`` line and then mentioning the Axiom of Choice in the next line.
The next line then says “lately our relation’s not so well-defined,” possibly referencing the order relation provided by the well-ordering principle, while also a lead-in to the line after that about not being able to function.
Just started learning group theory, I am at the point where I got about 2 jokes in the song and realised their name is also a joke. Can't wait until I get the entire thing.
It will take years unless you specifically seek out each individual term in the song. At least it took me >2 years after I discovered this song, and I'm still not sure I get the whole thing.
When I finally understood the "But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms , now everything is so complexified" lines, I was truly happy that I had taken differential geometry.
@@jthomas3584 didn't learn any more maths after high scool unfortunately would like to get back into it but decided to do chemistry at university instead and loved it, currently doing my PhD
I know it's a lot late, but you probably know more than 2. there's the Axiom of Choice, well defined, function, finite limit, continuous, identity, loss of generality, image, map (linear map), order, rank, associative and QED.
I just love how there are a couple tenured professors in the back. That's how a good department should be, people can have fun at breaks, and everyone enjoys it.
It's one year later, I'm so happy to find out I now understand almost everything in this marvellous song and now I'm so sure this is THE best math song ever
It's 2024 here and YT push me up this song I had heard during my former life of math student nearly 17 years ago... Still love this song and the vibe of this gang. Thanks guys !
I used to sing this to my girlfriend so much during my Mathematics degree she ended up learning the lyrics! I was so proud! Men don't come much more romantic than me...
All these years later, this is one of the funniest and most original songs ever. I think I learned more about finite in one song than many students do in an entire semester.
A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. A comathematician is a device for turning cotheorems into ffee. The proof for Banach-Tarski works by taking a sphere with volume 1, dividing it into a couple of parts, moving them around a bit and putting them back together, resulting in two spheres with volume 1 EACH. Since an anagram is basically taking a word, dividing it in its letters and turning them back together differently... well, you get the idea ;-)
The guy who coined the phrase about mathemticians turning coffee into theorems (Erdos) turned out to be a device for turning cocaine and amphetamines into theorems. That might explain his prodigious output!
I remember watching this is high school, and after doing college I understand a lot more of the jokes but there's still stuff for me to learn. Love coming back to this every now and then!
This song is mentioned on Wolfram mathematics' 'mathematical humor' section under the 'simple group' topic, well done guys, this is the only math song i have heard that i call pro.
@kleinfour Love this song, and I also really appreciate your videos on abstract algebra as well, they really helped me. Hey, you should turn on community contributions so I can submit corrected subtitles/captions. The auto generated captions are munging your most excellent lyrics, and that's a shame!
Freshman year: understand 2 of the jokes. Sophomore year: understand ALL of the jokes! Yay for category theory, algebra, and a bit of manifolds! Good thing there weren't many analysis jokes or I'd still be lost...
Being a student of Mathematics I can definitely say this song is awesome 😘 how well they shaped Mathematical terms in Musical Tone (over all funny as well).

What _does_ "mirror pair" mean in higher mathematics? A little while back I tried to look up the meanings of all the terms used in this song, and the only meaning of "mirror pair" I found was a pair of point sets which are reflections of each other.
@@tannerswett8276 yes that's the first one that showed up when i googled it too, but there is a much deeper mathematical/theoretical physics thing called mirror symmetry. Physically it's when two quantum field theories (/string theories) on two distinct geometric spaces are identical (in some suitable sense), then the two geometric spaces (which are related by a topological twist) are called mirror to each other/ mirror pair (I guess). mathematically there are many different formulations, the simplest one is when two (Calabi-yau) spaces have the same gromov witten invariants. A deeper version is called homological mirror symmetry, where the Fukaya category of a symplectic manifold is equivalent to derived category of coherent sheaves on a scheme. this is an area of active current research.
My love for this song is like a divergent series as the limit of n approaches infinity! It gives me inspiration to finish that love song I've been fiddling around. :D

You don't need to know tons of math to "understand" the song. It's a love song, anybody can see that. You just need to know a lot of math if you want to undertake the pointless task of defining every word that they use. The song doesn't magically take on a whole new meaning to someone who knows what a "forgetful functor" is. The math words there just jazz it up. But unlike most songs that talk about math, the words they use to jazz it up actually refer to research level ideas.
im a civil engineering major and i love this song! its funny because i understand what they are talking about (to a point) rank nullity diff-eq and linear algebra
In the line “since every time I see you, you just quotient out,” can anybody tell what the second guy from the right says when the lead singer says “quotient out”?
It has been 7 years since I listened to this song! It's very cool to see how nowadays I get (almost) all the jokes...I still miss the one of the "edge between our two forms/now everything is so complexifide" If anyone cared to explain, that would be awesome!
Its about the wedge product between differential forms of order 2 (used in differenital geometry and tensor algebra), which have a relationship with the complex numbers (not sure which, maybe through Clifford algebra?). Obviously the romantic meaning is that there was a dispute of some sort that got inbetween the two of them and now its all complicated.
It's correct, an analytic function is infinitely differentiable everywhere so it is a correct answer to the question. All of these have the format: What object has the following properties...? So the answer is a subset of all things satisfying the given properties not the other way around.
@Rywen I'm pretty sure he's making the sign in a tensor product. I tried explaining it myself but I'll let Wikipedia do it: The tensor product V ⊗ W of two vector spaces V and W over a field K can be defined by the method of generators and relations.
Thalenberghen You're right. I was simply trying to call attention to another shade of humor in that line that I hadn't noticed for a long time, until recently.
I thought this was about the previous line "upper bound in the chains of my heart" ≈ zorns lemma wich implies the axiom of choice? Or are these two references sperate?
@@julianbruns7459 You're probably right that the line about the axiom of choice is directly referring to the previous line. I'm just stating my appreciation for how the colloquial phrase "you know it's true," which someone might misinterpret as filler upon a first listen, is in fact highly meaningful in context.
Could you please post the lyrics in the description please! I love the song so much and am trying to learning the words : ). Perhaps I'll woo a girl with it one day XD, nehehe.
I didn't notice that line until like the third time watching. Can someone explain the line, "Without loss of generality, I will assume that you feel the same way,"?
I am assuming that the naming is after the bottle, the amount of topological dimentions in which it can be embedded doesn't correspond to the amount of musicians, I don't see any inconsitency in that.
Back in graduate school, I played this for my stats professor (who also became my dissertation chair). He laughed so hard I got worried he'd hurt himself.
@BombadilcommaTom I'm 3 and a half years through a 4 year MMath degree and I don't get most of this, though I am currently working on classifying simple groups, so I love this song!

Holy crap! That actually WORKS? I've been joking about that for years, but never thought to actually try it.
So it's okay to be a little excessive with ones passion for math, a subject most find tedious, confusing and possibly intolerable?

Lyrics:
The path of love is never smooth
But mine's continuous for you
You're the upper bound in the chains of my heart
You're my Axiom of Choice, you know it's true
But lately our relation's not so well-defined
And I just can't function without you
I'll prove my proposition and I'm sure you'll find
We're a finite simple group of order two
I'm losing my identity
I'm getting tensor every day
And without loss of generality
I will assume that you feel the same way
Since every time I see you, you just quotient out
The faithful image that I map into
But when we're one-to-one you'll see what I'm about
'Cause we're a finite simple group of order two
Our equivalence was stable,
A principal love bundle sitting deep inside
But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms
Now everything is so complexified
When we first met, we simply connected
My heart was open but too dense
Our system was already directed
To have a finite limit, in some sense
I'm living in the kernel of a rank-one map
From my domain, its image looks so blue,
'Cause all I see are zeroes, it's a cruel trap
But we're a finite simple group of order two
I'm not the smoothest operator in my class,
But we're a mirror pair, me and you,
So let's apply forgetful functors to the past
And be a finite simple group, a finite simple group,
Let's be a finite simple group of order two

After 17 years, still the best a capella math song on RUclips

The path of love is never smooth

"I've lost my identity" - lulz, that takes me back to abstract algebra.
If you're a field and you drop the additive identity, you become a multiplicative group. Happy day.
Absoolutely, insanely....HILARIOUS!! Wow, really good. "I live in a kernel...all I see are zeroes" LOL!!
wow good song good voices. Where can i download this song???
It's correct, an analytic function is infinitely differentiable everywhere so it is a correct answer to the question.
All of these have the format: What object has the following properties...?
So the answer is a subset of all things satisfying the given properties not the other way around.
continues to be total genius
Never saw this before, and can't believe it escaped my notice. Terrific!
Is that Mungo Jerry?
Absolutely best song of all times😍😃😂
Wondering what'd become of the group.
@Rywen I'm pretty sure he's making the sign in a tensor product. I tried explaining it myself but I'll let Wikipedia do it: The tensor product V ⊗ W of two vector spaces V and W over a field K can be defined by the method of generators and relations.
"... Axiom of Choice, you know it's true"
But do I really know it's true? I mean, what about Banach-Tarski?
The thing is u can't know if its true, because its an axiom, which is the funny thing about that line
Thalenberghen You're right. I was simply trying to call attention to another shade of humor in that line that I hadn't noticed for a long time, until recently.
I thought this was about the previous line "upper bound in the chains of my heart" ≈ zorns lemma wich implies the axiom of choice? Or are these two references sperate?
@@julianbruns7459 You're probably right that the line about the axiom of choice is directly referring to the previous line. I'm just stating my appreciation for how the colloquial phrase "you know it's true," which someone might misinterpret as filler upon a first listen, is in fact highly meaningful in context.
Could you please post the lyrics in the description please! I love the song so much and am trying to learning the words : ).
Perhaps I'll woo a girl with it one day XD, nehehe.
probably this song is why I choose math as my major...this summer
You know you're a math geek if you understand every word of this...lol I LOVE IT:))
This reminds me of why I love math
i'm going to sing this to my girl this st valentine's day ^_^
I found this through the Tim Tang Test in 2009 and I keep coming back
음원 내주세요 ㅜㅜ
omg this actually gives me chills
Currently in calc 3. Can't wait to finish my degree so I can understand all the jokes! 😂
You should be able to understand most of the jokes but some of them are pretty high level pure math stuff.
I didn't notice that line until like the third time watching. Can someone explain the line, "Without loss of generality, I will assume that you feel the same way,"?
I am assuming that the naming is after the bottle, the amount of topological dimentions in which it can be embedded doesn't correspond to the amount of musicians, I don't see any inconsitency in that.
For a couple who's basis is with infinity......this is the ultimate way to communicate concerns.
Back in graduate school, I played this for my stats professor (who also became my dissertation chair). He laughed so hard I got worried he'd hurt himself.
Why not three?
I am Japanese.I don't understand English but I like this song.I love Finite Simple group😻
really like this, also can imagine the love graph from this
@BombadilcommaTom I'm 3 and a half years through a 4 year MMath degree and I don't get most of this, though I am currently working on classifying simple groups, so I love this song!
Oh, I did not expect that. If you still have that list, I'd be interested, too. :)
