12 Days ‘Til Christmas!
To get us all in the spirit of Christmas, we intend to post 12 daily math anecdotes to get you in the holiday spirit and help you finish your semester strong—and with a LOT of holiday cheer!
On the first day of Christmas-Math, my cool professor gave to me:
A Derivative Christmas Tree.
(sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)
Derivatives, derivatives
They help us find the rate of change.
Derivatives, derivatives
They’re not that hard, they’re in our range.
The product rule is so much fun
It’s one prime two plus two prime one
Derivatives, derivatives
They help us find the rate of change.
