AWM 40th Anniversary Song

To the tune of "This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land"

This math is theory
This math is prac-ti-cal
From Galois Theory
To Elliptic P-D-E
From Lattice Crypto
To Pro-ba-bil-i-ty
This math is made for you and me

Did you ever wonder
At the Joint Math Meetings
Why there's no line at
The door marked Ladies
You know your network
Is not just graph th-eorrry
It's a way to make your own commu-ni-ty

This math is happy
This math is beau-ti-ful
From Galois Theory
To Elliptic P-D-E
From Lattice Crypto
To Pro-ba-bil-i-ty
This math is made for you and me

Can you factor
A million-bit number?
Can you optimize
Immunotherapy protocols?
Do your priors
Have good posteriors?
Then you, like Jill, can save the world

This math is theory
This math is prac-ti-cal
From Galois Theory
To Elliptic P-D-E
From Lattice Crypto
To Pro-ba-bil-i-ty
This math is made for you and me

So won't you join us
In celebrating
The ((3+1) times,
3 + 1) times,
3+1 years, anniversary
Of the A-W-M!

This math is *your* math
This math is *my* math
From Galois Theory
To Elliptic P-D-E
From Lattice Crypto
To Pro-ba-bil-i-ty
This math is made*BY* you and me!

This math is *your* math
This math is *my* math
From Galois Theory
To Elliptic P-D-E
From Lattice Crypto
To Pro-ba-bil-i-ty
This math is made*BY* you and me!
