Back to School Mix for Silver 8.31.05
For his new academic/ statistical forays. It's very hard to find songs about or titled with "variance" or "correlation." Did my best. Likelihoods, probabilities, books, and references to hypothesis testing.

I'm pretty sure there's a Death Cab song called "Line of Best Fit." I think it's on You Can Play These Songs With Chords. The Long Winters' "Medicine Cabinet Pirate" features the final line, "your new math is treason." But yes, this is probably too little, too late and too Barsuk-y.
