And I thought it would be interesting to st... To adapt this idea to the field of mathematics. I always like to Make explicit the fact that before I went off not too long ago to Fight in the trenches, I was a mathematician by profession. I don't Like people to get the idea that I have to do this for a living. I mean, it isn't as though I had to do this, you know, I could be Making, oh, 3000 dollars a year just teaching. Be that as it may, some of you may have had occasion to run into Mathematicians and to wonder therefore how they got that way, And here, in partial explanation perhaps, is the story of the Great Russian mathematician . Who made me the genius I am today The mathematician that others all quote Who's the professor that made me that way? The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat One man deserves the credit One man deserves the blame And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Hi! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach- I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky. In one word he told me secret of success in Mathematics: Plagiarize! Plagiarize Let no one else's work evade your eyes Remember why the good Lord made your eyes So don't shade your eyes But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize - Only be sure always to call it please "research" And ever since I meet this man My life is not the same And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Hi! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach- I am never forget the day I am given first Original paper to write. It was on analytic and algebraic Topology of locally Euclidean parameterization of Infinitely differentiable Riemannian manifold. Bozhe moi! This I know from nothing. But I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea - ahah! I have a friend in Minsk Who has a friend in Pinsk Whose friend in Omsk Has friend in Tomsk With friend in Akmolinsk His friend in Alexandrovsk Has friend in Petropavlovsk Whose friend somehow Is solving now The problem in Dnepropetrovsk And when his work is done - Ha ha! - begins the fun From Dnepropetrovsk To Petropavlovsk By way of Iliysk And Novorossiysk To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk To Tomsk to Omsk To Pinsk to Minsk To me the news will run, Yes, to me the news will run! And then I write By morning, night And afternoon And pretty soon My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed When he finds out I publish first! And who made me a big success And brought me wealth and fame? Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Hi! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach - I am never forget the day my first book is published. Every chapter I stole from somewhere else. Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory. This book was sensational! - well, Pravda - Pravda said: (Russian double-talk) It stinks! But Izvestia! Izvestia said: (Russian double-talk) It stinks! Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva buys movie rights for six million rubles, Changing title to "The Eternal Triangle," With playing part of hypotenuse. And who deserves the credit? And who deserves the blame? Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name Hi!
