From idolise.: April 2007: http://hiidol.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html "Since examinations are the favour of the month, I will also take this opportunity to introduce the work of Tom Lehrer and RonfarZ3: RonfarZ3 covers Tom Lehrer's comic song New Math (1965) For your information, Thomas Andrew (Tom) Lehrer (born April 9, 1928) is an American singer-songwriter, satirist, pianist, and mathematician. He used to lecture on mathematics and musical theater. As for RonfarZ3, he is "the guy who gets all the jokes" (according to him)." From Captain's Quarters: http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/010386.php "I don't think process matters more than results; I think both are important, but in order to truly see conservatism ascendant, we have to produce positive results with the process. Otherwise, we have New Math, which as Tom Lehrer delightfully skewers in his song of the same name, getting the right answer matters less than understanding the process. Here's the Professor at his mathematical best, animated and lip-synched brilliantly by RonfarZ3 and Benjamin M W at" From ICT 4 Champions: http://ict4champions.blogspot.com/2007/07/youtube-as-educational-tool-new-math.html For instance, the video snippet, New Math, by Tom Lehrer (performed by Ronfar z3) explains that New Math is all about understanding what you doing rather than getting the right answer . . . From Maths literacy Teachers Blog: http://mathslit.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-math.html I have been looking at Youtube for teaching and learning and found some really cool videos . . . I really enjoyed this one by Tom Lehrer performed by Ronfar z3 Song: New Math Artist: Tom Lehrer Album: That Was the Year that Was

Nov 13, 2008 - why does 173 magically change to 176 at around 1 minute?

RonfarZ3 Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - Because that's a typo. Please see the corrected version for error-less hilarity.
