Ive been reading John Cleeses autobiography, in which he mentions a COMEDIAN/MATHEMATICIAN from the 1960s named Tom Lehrer. I thought Id look up some of his material and found this. Its a satirical song making fun of New Math which I vaguely remember learning about in grad school. It was a change in the math curriculum that was a reaction to Russias advances in the Space Race. The bulk of the New Math was scrapped because parents didnt understand it and teachers didnt know how to teach it. The more things change...
