Are there any songs that mention mathematicians other than Dylan's "Tangled up in blue"?:
There's Christine Lavin's song "Doris and Edwin: The Movie" (http://www.christinelavin.com/00081507dorisandedwin.html): "Now I'm not much of a mathematician But even I can see In a building of 37 floors And 4000 employees Her chances of running into him Were really not too good Even though she hung out at the canteen And rode the elevator every spare minute she could." (The word "mathematician" makes a repeat appearance in the mock-tragic denoument.) Jim
