A Song About Pi Lyrics by Lucy Kaplansky

0

Through all the bygone ages
Philosophers and sages
Have meditated on the circle’s mysteries
From Euclid to Pythagoras
From Gauss to Anaxagoras
Their thoughts have filled the libraries' bulging histories
And yet there was elation
Throughout the whole Greek nation
When Archimedes did his mighty computation!
He said:
3 1 4 1 Oh (5) my (9), here’s (2) a (6) song (5) to (3) sing (5) about (8,9) pi (7)
Not a sigma or mu but a well-known Greek letter too
You can have your alphas and your great phi-bates, and omegas for a friend
But that’s just what a circle doesn’t have–a beginning or an еnd
3 1 4 1 5 9 is a ratio we don’t define;
Two pi timеs radii gives circumference you can rely;
If you square the radius times the pi, you will get the circle’s space
Here’s my song about pi, fit for a mathematician’s embrace
3 1 4 1 5 9 is a ratio we don’t define;
Two pi times radii gives circumference you can rely;
If you square the radius times the pi, you will get the circle’s space
Here’s my song about pi, fit for a mathematician’s embrace
