For many years now mr danny kaye[00:00:00]

Who has been my particular idol since childbirth[00:00:02]

Has been doing a routine about the great russian director[00:00:04]

Stanislavsky and the secret of success in the actiofession[00:00:11]

And i thought it would be interesting to stea[00:00:14]

To adapt this idea to the field of mathematics[00:00:16]

To there to make explicit[00:00:19]

I always like to make explicit the fact that before[00:00:22]

I went off not too long ago to figh[00:00:24]

The trenches i was a mathematician by profession[00:00:26]

I don't like people to get the idea that[00:00:31]

I have to do this for a living[00:00:33]

I mean it isn't as though i had to do this you know[00:00:37]

I could be making[00:00:40]

Oh 3000 dollars a year just teaching[00:00:40]

Be that as it may[00:00:50]

Some of you may have had occasion to[00:00:51]

Run into mathematicians and to wonder therefore how they got that way[00:00:52]

And here[00:00:56]

In partial explanation perhaps[00:00:58]

Is the story of the great[00:01:00]

Ian mathematician nicolai ivanovich lobachevsky[00:01:02]

Who made me the genius i am today[00:01:10]

The mathematician that others all quote[00:01:12]

Who's the professor that made me that way[00:01:14]

The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat[00:01:17]

One man deserves the credit[00:01:20]

One man deserves the blame[00:01:22]

And nicolai ivanovich lobachevsky is his name[00:01:24]

Hi[00:01:26]

Nicolai ivanovich lobach[00:01:27]

I am never forget the day i first meet the great lobachevsky[00:01:29]

In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics[00:01:33]

Plagiarize[00:01:37]

Plagiarize[00:01:39]

Let no one else's work evade your eyes[00:01:41]

Remember why the good lord made your eyes[00:01:44]

So don't shade your eyes[00:01:46]

But plagiarize plagiarize plagiarize[00:01:47]

Only be sure always to call it please 'research'[00:01:51]

And ever since i meet this man[00:01:55]

My life is not the same[00:01:57]

And nicolai ivanovich lobachevsky is his name[00:01:58]

Hi[00:02:01]

Nicolai ivanovich lobach[00:02:02]

I am never forget the day i am given first original paper[00:02:03]

To write it was on analytic and algebraic topology of[00:02:07]

Locally euclidean parameterization of infinitely differentiable[00:02:11]

Riemannian manifold[00:02:13]

Bozhe moi[00:02:14]

This i know from nothing[00:02:17]

But i think of great lobachevsky and get idea ahah[00:02:20]

I have a friend in minsk[00:02:24]

Who has a friend in pinsk[00:02:27]

Whose friend in omsk[00:02:29]

Has friend in tomsk[00:02:30]

With friend in akmolinsk[00:02:31]

His friend in alexandrovsk[00:02:32]

Has friend in petropavlovsk[00:02:34]

Whose friend somehow[00:02:36]

Is solving now[00:02:37]

The problem in dnepropetrovsk[00:02:37]

And when his work is done[00:02:39]

Ha ha begins the fun[00:02:41]

From dnepropetrovsk[00:02:43]

To petropavlovsk[00:02:44]

By way of iliysk[00:02:44]

And novorossiysk[00:02:45]

To alexandrovsk to akmolinsk[00:02:46]

To tomsk to omsk[00:02:47]

To pinsk to minsk[00:02:48]

To me the news will run[00:02:49]

Yes to me the news will run[00:02:51]

And then i write[00:02:54]

By morning night[00:02:58]

And afternoon[00:02:59]

And pretty soon[00:03:00]

My name in dnepropetrovsk is cursed[00:03:01]

When he finds out i publish first[00:03:03]

And who made me a big success[00:03:05]

And brought me wealth and fame[00:03:08]

Nicolai ivanovich lobachevsky is his name[00:03:10]

Hi[00:03:13]

Nicolai ivanovich lobach[00:03:13]

I am never forget the day my first book is published[00:03:14]

Every chapter i stole from somewhere else[00:03:19]

Index i copy from old vladivostok telephone directory[00:03:23]

This book[00:03:28]

This book was sensational[00:03:29]

Pravda well pravda pravda said russian double-talk[00:03:31]

It stinks[00:03:34]

But izvestia izvestia said russian double-talk[00:03:37]

It stinks[00:03:42]

Metro goldwyn moskva buys movie rights for six million rubles[00:03:44]

Changing title to 'the eternal triangle'[00:03:51]

With brigitte bardot playing part of hypotenuse[00:03:55]

And who deserves the credit[00:04:00]

And who deserves the blame[00:04:02]

Nicolai ivanovich lobachevsky is his name[00:04:04]

Hi[00:04:09]
