Okay, lately I find that listening to something upbeat, techno-y, kind of repetitive, and fast paced has really helped me do my math homework.

Lately the song: such great heights- the version by the postal service has been on repeat its practically my perfect companion for math lol.. I feel a small high when I can "catch up" to fast beat of the tune if you know what I mean.

So, do you guys have any kind of music that helps you do math/or any homework for that matter? Preferably techno songs as said title. :)

But any music will do just please recommend some!

I suppose its a similar feeling to how certain music helps you feel motivated to exercise, except this is with math.

SOME MSI songs did help me aswell: sweetheart, Straight to video, mastermind.

oh and .. a flash in the night by the secret service.. :-/

Skinny Puppy- protest.

and Owl City.

Only the really catchy "dance" ones work when I'm already moderately good at that particular math subject, it depends.

Thanks guys I will be sure to check it out.
 
That song: fallen by delirium, reminds me of manic star by conjure one.
