You're Not Bad at Math

Published 2019-06-25
Hello You Tubers,
My name is Jenna and the song I uploaded to You Tube is called, “You’re not bad at Math.” It was a final project for my College Mathematics Artistic Creation assignment. In the first verse I rap about the formula for area and how to divide fractions. I also mention the definition of a lease common multiple (LCD), which may seem like a simple concept, but after not studying math for a while, may be easy to forget. Furthermore, I explain what the Pythagorean Theorem formula is with a quick reference to Nicki Minaj’s “Beez in the Trap” for a little fun! I change trap into trapezoid of course. Listen to it here.    • Nicki Minaj Beez In The Trap (lyrics)...   Finally, to close the first verse, I talk about how to change a percent to a decimal and how to change it back. Followed by pounds to ounces conversion and pounds to tons conversion as well.
In the hook, you will hear me singing my version of PEMDAS and 3.14 also known as pi. I talk about how My Dear Aunt Sally will make you happy with just one slice of her pi so much to where you will want more. After the hook, I go into my second verse and speak on how to set up the equation to find a percent. I also rap about how math relates to my future endeavors, which would be music production. The subject I choose was split sheets which are important because if I don’t sign one and or have a proper contract, I can lose out on my royalties, which ultimately is how I would make my money. And I don’t want to do that right?
Finally I wrap up the song going back to the chorus which starts with “You’re not bad at math, but it is what you make it.” This is heard six times in the song altogether. The moral of the story is math is useful no matter what profession you decide to choose. I use to think that I didn’t need math for music production which was proved false once I started this journey to my degree. It has actually helped me apply mathematical concepts to the real world and helped me learn how not to miss out on my percentage of the total earnings generated from record sales. This math class has opened my eyes to potential opportunities and now that I have completed this course, I realize that I’m not bad at math, and it wasn’t so bad after all.
