I Know My Calculus
FOUND by Kristin in Bloomington, IN
I work at the Indiana University library, and this is one of many treasures I've found in the stacks. I think some graduate students who work in the carrels upstairs had a bit of a nerdy love connection going on. This piece of paper was folded in half over a lengthy calculus problem; but, there's so much more than math! I hope they found it with each other!

This is making reference to the classic boyband mockumentary 2ge+her.

I'd love to see how the rest of their conversation turned out, though.

I tried to use u + me = us as an answer to a problem on my Differential Equations exam my first year of college. It didn't work out so well.
Looking back, however, I think I was smitten over some sexy senior. Hope it worked for them though, nerd love is awesome.

Night in gale, humming an old Sam Cooke song
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

One nice thing about this piece is that you can get to the bottom and continue again from the top without a break. Except then you get caught in reading it over and over again with the same result.

What's calculus got to do, got to do with it?
What's calculus but a second hand math problem?

Who needs an equals sign
when an equals sign can be broken?

Going with the Librarian -
but I also think
the fold of the paper
U +Me = US
Sounds Great!
is where the message starts

- and then the
"leave a second message if you are serious"
is added - which lead to the
witty "I know my calculus ..." response
<runs out of room flips folded paper over and continues with>>>

blah blah

Ending with the "'heart shape' for example"

I'd like to know what else the writer can give besides math. What does this history look like? Or science?
These genius people...they baffle me.

Wow! Calculus has become a lot simpler than when I was in college! If I only knew U + me=US, maybe I wouldn't have failed it.

Finnegan, beg in ning again.....
Librarian's right. This note is like a moebius strip. there is no begining and no end. I'd be willing to bet that the other side of the note treats not calculus, but quantum physics.

saw 2ge+her live in 10th grade
"U + Me = Us (Calculus)" By: Toge+her

I'm losing my hair
and my vision is shady
Last night I dreamt
of an over weight lady

But I need a young thang
to keep up with my pace
to hold me in her arms
and take me straight to second base.

I know my calculus
it says u + me = us
Sing it Chad for me
I know my calculus
it says u + me = us

Oh yeah, calculus...

Yeah, we're 2gether, we're 2gether

[Rap:]
Girl, algebra, trigonometry
can never equal up to what you do to me
so, let's integrate
don't differentiate
If you were in my class
there's ain't no way I could pass I hate english, gym
& not to mention
I can't even afford to pay my attention
(can't pay my attention)
not even philosophy can ever come between us
but we will always have our calculus.

I know my calculus
it says u + me = us
I know my calculus
it says u + me = us

Calculus, calculus
Go go go go go
Ooh baby, oh lord
U + me = us

Well I've never been good at history
& I don't give a crap about Robert E. Lee
When it comes to cosines, I know a thing or 2
& I kicked ass on the test about me & you

I know my calculus
it says u + me = us
I know my calculus
it says u + me = us

U, plus sign, me, equal sign, us
U, plus sign, me, equal sign, us
U, plus sign, me, equal sign, us

Oooh
Girl, no subject comes close to you
2gether, sing it

I know my calculus

I know my calculus
it says u + me = us
Say I know my calculus
it says u + me = us

Calculus

thank you for posting this...i graduated from IU in may and you talking about the stacks made me reminisce about the (few) times i spent studying there. it's endearing to read this innocent flirting when i know many people who've had sex among those books. unfortunately i didn't mark that one off my bucket list.

(the worst part is that I said yes because I found it incredibly sweet and funny)

Actually, this is a video on youtube. Once, randomly during a calculous class, my teacher broke out this song and played it on the overhead.



It's quite funny. Am I allowed to post the link?

weighing in with my opinion
dear random, please do.. but you might want to go to tiny url with the web address, because long URLs get clipped here at found, to preserve the sanctity of the page formatting.

That's tinyurl.com

Haha, it definitely made me think of the 2ge+her song. Man, I haven't seen that movie in ages! ("Since there's five of us, shouldn't it be... 5ge+her?!")


that should be a Spam Protection question.
U + Me = ?
