Lyrics:
I was left, all alone
At night, with my calc book
Derivatives, Integrals
My brain felt so cooked
Just as I was about to give up
I opened up my notes
Derivatives started to make sense
To their functions it's a tangent slope

But if you do your calc,
Does it almost feel like it is not so bad?
And if you work it out
You see its relevance
And you will feel so glad
Economists to analysts to physicists,
All solve their real-world problems using calculus

Derivatives can go as far
As exponents allow
Decrease them by one each time
No variable- take it out
Then multiply the coefficient
By each of their initial values
Repeat this again and again
Til one number's in front of you

But if you do your calc,
Does it almost feel like it is not so bad?
And if you work it out
You see its relevance
And you will feel so glad
Economists to analysts to physicists,
All solve their real-world problems using calculus
But if you do your calc,
Does it almost feel like it is not so bad?

Oh where do we begin?
Antiderivatives?
Oh starting at the end...
Gotta think the opposite

Look at every variable
Increase the exponents by one
Then take the reciprocal
And multiply it at the front

But if you do your calc,
Does it almost feel like it is not so bad?
And if you work it out
You see its relevance
And you will feel so glad
Economists to analysts to physicists,
All solve their real-world problems using calculus
But if you do your calc,
Does it almost feel like it is not so bad?

Pure genius. I think that I've learned something about myself after watching this. This is art. This is math.

I'm not that into math but still this is the most impressive cover of this song I've seen yet!🌋
