This gives off the " video from 13 years ago" vibe

[odysseus]

The fact that "Riemann" is consistently misspelled is perfect 😂

[anonymanonymus]

At first, I was confused.
Why make it a Nirvana parody?
And then I realized suicide is a common theme between the two.

[KingOfAluminum]

Very glad to see calculus parodies are still being made

[girla]

Your teacher is so real for agreeing to be part of this.

[stargazergurl]

Glad that forgetting +c is a universal experience 😌

[whetshu]

I'm so happy that the tradition of calc parodies continues to live!

[burgur]

Bruh. Our professor sent us this as encouragement💀

[AlecHartman-wzof]

1:59, Ah yes, the integral of x^2 = 2x

[ReddStrider]

math music parody is my new favorite youtube genre

[adarshbhavihal]

BRO THIS IS THE BEST CALCULUS PARODY I HAVE HEARD WITH GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS??

[hhgdhzp]

I love that the drummer is always either playing a completely different thing or is off time by a whole beat

[finnsweeney]

I'm incredibly surprised that this isnt 10 years old.

Give it a few years and itll be shown to students around the world

[mikedl]

Nice work, kids. I especially enjoyed the shout out to Riemann. I had a German professor who never used the word "integral" but always called it the "Riemann sum"

[myri_the_weirdo]

I haven't understood a single sentence

Perfectly encapsulates my experience with math

[damenation]

I just imagine who got the idea and say to his classmate : let’s do a parody of nirvana about calculus

[Utetheisa-Coloptera-Ulgari]

We're in calc class
It's circuit time
The question asks
What's under the line?

I'm wrapped up in
Hysteria
How do I find
The area

Under the curve

COULD TRY BOXING
MAYBE SHADING
HERE WE ARE NOW
INTEGRATING!

COULD TRY SUMMING
JUST LIKE REIMANN
HERE WE ARE NOW
INTEGRATING!


IF IT'S INDEFINITE
YOU MIGHT SEE
YOU FORGET THAT
FINAL PLUS C

*epic guitar solo*

What really is, the integral?
It's antiderivative
Evaluate, at B then A
Then you subtract, to get the space

I have V of t, but need P of t
I ask Ms. D, to come help me
She said "It's right there", in front of your face
It's P of t, it accumulates

[zwelthureinmyo]

Although others have acknowledged it, i'd like to express my deep gratitude for continuing the tradition of calculus parody songs!

[nightytime]

Out of all of the calculus parodies I've seen, maybe this one flows the best
