Song written and performed by Tom Rocks Maths intern Siddiq Islam – a second year undergraduate Maths student at the University of Oxford. Explanation by Oxford Mathematician Dr Tom Crawford. FULL LYRICS BELOW.
The show was first performed at IF Oxford – the Oxford Science and Ideas Festival. Thanks to the London Mathematical Society (LMS) for financial support for the event.
You + me
Is all I’d ever dream to be
You see
You’re my -7x^(-8) + 3
And equally
I’m your x^(-7) + 3x + c
Woah
My love’s exponential
Its domain is boundless and it reaches into infinity
While at first incremental
The rate at which it’s growing is increasing gradually
They say I resemble e^(iπ), beautiful in all I do
But I am just helpless
‘Cos I still feel like a -1 without
You + me
Is all I’d ever dream to be
You see
You’re my -7x^(-8) + 3
And equally
I’m your x^(-7) + 3x + c
Woah
Your heart’s logarithmic
It inverts every positive thing that my love might try
It’s just tough luck, isn’t it?
My love will only touch your heart in an imaginary place like
I could try to envisage
Any other number from infinity to 1 or 2
And their sum you’d outdistance
While I’d still feel like a -1/12 without
You + me
Is all I’d ever dream to be
You see
You’re my -7x^(-8) + 3
And equally
I’m your x^(-7) + 3x + c
Woah
Can we
Be we
Instead of just you + me?
We are not defined when x is 0
And there are no real solutions here
My favourite number’s 2
But nothing’s really greater than you
TOM ROCKS MATHS 
Excelent song professor Tom.
Professor, I would like to work and try to find a solution, in the open flow canal in 90 ° and the singularity that appeared in the corner of the 90°..I have two hypothesis that I think can give an answear and remove the singularity
In order to do this ,would you send me your equation of the velocity field and the stream lines equation…I think we gonna work together to give this solution..thnks I gonna be waiting for this information you not gonna regreat.thnks Tom.
I think
