Mathematics is the language of the universe.

It is the foundation of all science...

...upon which rests the building of modern civilization.

It is the cornerstone for the technological advancement of the human race.

Isn't that exciting?

[YAKKO, WAKKO & DOT SNORING]

-Uh, fourteen. -Uh, ninety-two.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue?

-Wakko? -Yes, Miss Flamiel?

When an apple fell out of the tree and landed on Isaac Newton...

...what did it teach him?

To sit someplace else?

It taught him gravity, which he defined using mathematics. Ahem.

-Dot? -Yes, Miss Flamiel?

If you have 10 cookies and someone takes away half of them, what will they have?

A broken hand.

-No. -They will if they try to take my cookies.

-They're not trying to take your cookies. -Well, that's what you said.

That's not what I-- Oh, forget it.

-Just forget it, all right? -All right.

Now, where was 1?

I don't know. You told me to forget.

Today's lesson is multiplication.

-Yakko? -Yes, Miss Flamiel?

I want you to multiply 47 times 83.

Sounds like a song cue to me.

-No, it doesn't. -Oh, yes it does.

Hit it, Moray.

Seven times three is 21, which, as you know, is just two 10s plus one...

...and so we put the one here, and carry the two one left to--

[SINGING] The top of the tens' place right next door

And we put it on top of the number four

Which is really four tens that we multiply Times three in the ones' place and that's why

We now have 12 which we add to the two That we carried to get 14

See how easy that was?

Oh, it's multiplication It's math education

Hey, Albert Einstein said That it's so easy to do

It's simple, it's breezy It's fun and it's easy

Just buy a calculator You can multiply too

Oh!

And now, the second digit.

Seven times eight is 56, which As you know, is just five tens plus six

And so we put the six right here In the tens' place left of the one

Carry the five like we did before To the top of the tens' place next to the four

Then multiply that four times eight to get 32 See, isn't this great?

Then we add the five that we carried before To get 37

Then add once more straight down To get 3901

Isn't this swell?

Oh, let's give multiplication A standing ovation

Isaac Newton multiplied a couple times too

Times two, times two, times two

It's simple, it's breezy It's fun and it's easy

So buy a calculator And study this stuff later

Maybe someday You can multiply numbers too

Three, four, five

Recess.

ALL: Auf Wiedersehen.
