Calculus and Physics

I Will Derive!



Doug sent around the URL for this YouTube video but didn't get around to embedding it in a post here. (My brother also sent it to me, from a different blog, so this has definitely gone viral in some part of the blogosphere.) If you click on the image to go to the YouTube site, you can read all of the lyrics in the "more info" area.

Obligatory math/physics comment:
This is a nice example of the application of calculus to motion in physics, a topic taken up in chapter 3 of the calculus textbook and chapter 2 of the physics textbook.
