OMG talking about the quadratic formula, about a week ago or maybe a couple of weeks ago I forget lol, I was in math class and we had to use the quadratic formula to solve this problem that we could not figure out to get the roots and apply it to the graph but yeah the whole class did not remember the quadratic formula since we haven't used it since sophomore year of high school, and so our professor made us sing pop goes the weasel to remember it lol. It was hilarious! So he told us that if we ever tell anyone that he made us sing pop goes the weasel or if he ends up on Youtube then he will fail us in all of his math classes that we will take in the future. And here I am telling you guys about it :lol:. Oh well, not like my professor knows about SW.

Yes it does.

verse credits to Wikipedia lol:
All around the mulberry bush (x= -b
The monkey chased the weasel; (+ or - the square root)
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun (of b^2-4ac)
Pop! goes the weasel. (all over 2a)

The number of syllables in the break down of the formula equals the number of syllables in the verse. Clever isn't it? Yeah I never learned that it worked in high school, I guess that's why they say college opens up minds lol.
