Ramble, Part 52: Beyond Barbara

Having discussed nineteenth-century developments in geometry and algebra, we should next proceed to the third great branch of mathematics, analysis. However, those developments wove in and out with developments in what mathematicians call "foundations": logic, set theory, and their relatives. So, I'm going to spend the next few Rambles ranging over both of those areas. I'm also going to throw in a little linguistics, just 'cause I can.

Singalong

There are some songs in my collection that I almost always sing along with - the chorus, at least - whenever they come up.

The Beach Boys, "Sloop John B".

The Walker Brothers, "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More".

Dusty Springfield, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me".

Simon and Garfunkel, "Homeward Bound".

Shania Twain, "Rock This Country".

Petula Clark, "Downtown" and "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener".

The Temptations, "My Girl".

Abba, "Knowing Me, Knowing You".

The Righteous Brothers, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling".

There are probably others, but those are the ones that come to mind.

What are some of yours?
