In 2020, at the age of 92, Lehrer donated all of his lyrics and music written by him to the public domain.
Former Scottish Teacher of the Year, Chris Smith teaches, tweets, dreams and sings songs about maths. In 2020, Chris and a team of famous UK mathematical YouTubers created a video performing this song, which was inspiration for this book.
