J-Money

Came to class to learn discrete,

Need some help you can rely on me,

Learned about functions and state machines,

Cookin’ up fire come ready to eat.

First in class they call us the A-team,

Teacher’s fantasy- call us the daydream,

Well-ordering principle is my favorite treat,

Contains a smallest element in a set with size C.

Learned to prove anything using induction,

Base and inductive cases are part of the production,

Of a proof that shows a theorem is true,

Don’t believe me? You can ask Professor Evans too!

Alright, no more playin’, no more fakin’, I keep statin’,

I’m getting impatient, I keep on waitin’, Hardly breakin’,

Don’t listen to me, this truth table say it!

*Alright, alright, time to pass off the mic*

Em-Swizzle (Chorus)

And we’ve been learning this discrete for some time,

At first I didn’t know why,

But now I’ve learned how to relate it to my life,

And now I know why.

The end of the semester is upon our time,

And I feel like I’m gonna cry,

This material has been my whole life,

But now I guess it’s time to say goodbye.

Nick the G

Yo, yo, Listen up

When you make a statement to me, you better have a proof

Respect don’t come for free, don’t sound aloof

Direct, contrapositive, or by contradiction

Our rhymes will be the best, that is my prediction

Tuesday and Thursday 2 to 3:15, be there or be square

Slack answers like “Harambe”, you better beware

Pay attention in class and we get an 8 on a problem set

We can get that 11 too, wanna bet?

The most common set operators are easy, you see?

Intersection, union, or difference, simple as can be

And hey, I’ll even throw in a complement,

No, not like “You’re great!”, but everything that’s not in the set!

And yo, believe me, one day we will all thank discrete

The material we learn is surely not obsolete

When you want to know if your idea can be proved

Check out your discrete notes, THAT’S THE MOVE!

Em-Swizzle (Chorus)

And we’ve been learning this discrete for some time,

At first I didn’t know why,

But now I’ve learned how to relate it to my life,

And now I know why.

The end of the semester is upon our time,

And I feel like I’m gonna cry,

This material has been my whole life,

But now I guess it’s time to say goodbye.

MC Recursion

Yo I’m MC Recursion and I’m here to say

That this discrete mathematician

Didn’t come to play

Recursion is the most useful tool in this game

None of the other topics can say the same

Recursions used to make functions call themselves

Like Russian nesting dolls inside of shells

I use recursion to traverse trees

You can’t touch me

Nothing about this rap is discrete

Recursion is the topic that can’t be beat

In conclusion,

There shouldn’t be no confusion

That Recursion is best

Now I hand the mic off to the rest

Em-Swizzle (Chorus)

And we’ve been learning this discrete for some time,

At first I didn’t know why,

But now I’ve learned how to relate it to my life,

And now I know why.

The end of the semester is upon our time,

And I feel like I’m gonna cry,

This material has been my whole life,

But now I guess it’s time to say goodbye.

Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I learn me some discrete

From semester start to end my knowledge is NP-complete.

We went through propositions and proofs, boolean logic, and sets galore

Next came binary relations, graphs, and number theory (what a bore)

My man Dave caught my eye with those stable pairs though

He brightened my day with WallE, Eve, and Olaf who was made from snow.

Matches can be stable or not stable, and that’s a fact!

A stable matching is made when all elements get their first choice,

Unstable matchings - what trouble, oh no! - individuals must act!

They seek a partner other than their own, love triangles in tow.

One thing though, we never discussed

Who might Harambe’s stable pair be … could it be us?

It’s been a cool semester, man I must admit;

Even though, at the start I wanted to quit.

Discrete has served me in interesting ways there’s no mistake,

New ways of proof-based thinking, it all became clear

Who would’ve thought, we be like Drake,

Started from the bottom, now we here.

Em-Swizzle (Chorus)

And we’ve been learning this discrete for some time,

At first I didn’t know why,

But now I’ve learned how to relate it to my life,

And now I know why.

The end of the semester is upon our time,

And I feel like I’m gonna cry,

This material has been my whole life,

But now I guess it’s time to say goodbye.

Lil’ A-Dawg

Ok I bet you wondering what I gotta say

Cuz Big Mel B be plundering all the stuff I know real well

But my man Dave don’t let us down

He be teaching us more than we got time to throw down

Remember that one time we talked about elections

And we got Hamilton and Jefferson throwing in corrections

Cuz that electoral college got us all in a confusion

Its there so the smaller states don’t get thrown collusions

Let’s take a check back now and look at the logic

Of trick or treating man I bet you woulda thought that

It’s easier to hand off the candy to the kids

but that just don’t make sense to us in the discrete biz

So when you feelin sad this next saturday

Remember these fire rhymes when you feel the need to pray

When you throwing down the logic on your exam

Ya gotta go gotta go for the big ol Turing slam

Lil A-Dawg out

*mic drop*

Em-Swizzle (Chorus)

And we’ve been learning this discrete for some time,

At first I didn’t know why,

But now I’ve learned how to relate it to my life,

And now I know why.

The end of the semester is upon our time,

And I feel like I’m gonna cry,

This material has been my whole life,

But now I guess it’s time to say goodbye.

*Goodbye*
