The MIT Cheer

[alexxkay]

This came up in conversation recently, and some of my readers may not have had the joy of seeing it yet:

I’m a beaver,
You’re a beaver,
We are beavers all!
And when we get together,
We do the beaver call!

E to the u du dx,
E to the x dx!
Cosine secant tangent sine,
3.14159,
Integral, radical, mu, dv!
Slipstick, slide rule, M-I-T!

Go tech!

At Northwestern, we have a variation of this (at least in NUMB -- the Northwestern University Marching Band) we call "The Calculus Cheer." Like most NUMB cheers, it starts with the usual pattern:

Spirit Leader: "Hey, Band!"
Band: "Hey, what?"
Spirit Leader: "Let's CALCULUS THEM!"
Band: "Yeah!"
ALL: "Two, Four, Six, Eight
Time to differentiate
d to the x, dx/dy
d to the y, D-why?
3.14159
Cosine, tangent, inverse sine
Add an asymptotic line
Come on, Wildcats, hold that line...
... SEGMENT!!"
