It is hard to follow up the Math Rap, but the Pi Song is pretty geeky too. And it is kind of catchy. I wish it went on longer. Link (Via Trixie)

Here is a nice video that "might" be helpful to students learning about Pi. It is a rap music video created by a public television station in Boston. It has to be seen to be believed, and it is quite funny.

I came across this cool site created by Justin Mullins of the New Scientist. The site contains artwork created by mathematical expressions. The creator describes it as Mathematical Photography, "In the same way that an ordinary photograph is a snapshot of an area of outstanding natural beauty, a mathematical photograph is a snapshot of mathematical beauty."

There are many examples to be seen on the site. And they will be shown at the UK gallery exhibition in London next February. Link (via Boing Boing)

London Ontario is home to the University of Western Ontario. Western is one of Canada's oldest universities and it was founded in 1878. Within its beautiful campus you can find the Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra where research into many symbolic algebra topics takes place. The researchers at ORCCA also help to develop Maple.
