I think it's awesome how you turned a amazing song converted it to math. You should totally make another one. I thought it was awesome when I heard it with my teacher across the hall from your classroom.

[@SimonMac]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully it was helpful for you in learning the concept :) I might well make another one some day, we'll see...

I just wanna say I'm 32 and I heard your song on the news a couple weeks ago and it's still stuck in my head. Cs the longest side. Thanks for the lesson and the song being stuck in my head lol
