In plain words
Do The Math" is a song that presents advanced mathematical concepts through hip-hop lyrics, featuring an interaction between a professor and a struggling math student. Created by emcee Nemesis Fixx, who studied mathematics in undergraduate studies, the song covers topics like matrix multiplication, basis vectors, and Einstein summation notation. It aims to make mathematics engaging and accessible through music, encouraging students and teachers to develop a deeper appreciation for the subject and inspiring more people to pursue STEM learning.

I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun2024 · worchle.com · ▲161Hey, maker here. After launching a daily word search game, I randomly thought of this math game while driving.

I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds. (There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder) If you try it out, please let me know if you found it fun, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you…

Song url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2GT2PCUN3Q Quick background on the project: I'm a full time programmer and I love making rap music. I see a lot of humor in the profession/industry, and thought it would be fun to combine the two. I'm always open to feedback on audio quality/topic ideas/ways to get more exposure/etc! I am also open to collaboration with beat makers/videographers/producers!
