I can’t think of one specifically about math, unless you wanna count the Advil bit at the beginning of Til My Head Falls Off or the “count the arms the legs and heads and then divide by five” part of Certain People I Could Name. Or most of the tracks on Here Come the 123s, but those are more about numbers than math itself.
I feel like this is bait for one specific answer… okay, fine, I’ll be the one.
MLK Jr, Anne Frank, and Yasser Arafat were all born in the same year (1929). They were all born after Tom Lehrer, who died yesterday, 97 years old.
Edit: Math is hard
aw Tom Lehrer passed? RIP legend
Yeah. Super sad. There will be more good ones, other skies and stars, but these good ones are gone, they will now not shine again.
Someone should write a song about that.
They Might Be Giants probably wrote more than one.

You can’t take 3 from 2, 2 is less than 3, so you look at the 4 in the tens place

Nah, I just genuinely want to learn new trivia stuff. I already know the common ones like the mammoths and pyramids for example.
Omg, this was one of those “oh no!” moments…his songs were so catchy and hilarious (Tom Lehrer, of course!)
Slight correction though, it looks like Lehrer was 97!
Thanks, corrected, IDK what I was thinking.
