I thought love was 50/50—
This just don't add up:
You always take more than you give me;
Is that the new math or what?

Hooray for new math,
New-hoo-hoo-math,
It won't do you a bit of good to review math.
It's so simple, So very simple,
That only a child can do it!

from "New Math" by Tom Lehrer

I got so bored with my homework, I turned on the TV.
The beauty pageant winners were all smiling through their teeth;
And they asked the new Miss America,
"Hey, babe, can you add up all those bucks?"
She looked puzzled then just said, "Math Suks."

"But in the new (math) approach, the important thing is to understand what you're doing, rather than to get the right answer."
