kebertxela
had to sing this one

I understood that the question meant which subject is not mentioned 'by name' but maybe it should actually say that, just to be clearer.
Mario Suedi
They mean the word “mathematics “ is not in the song.

Agree with others. Maths ARE mentioned only under sub headings within the subject heading.

Hard to read this without singing it. :)

Love the Motown sound. so much fun to sing along
Player AutumnWind33
Love the song...brings back good memories.
Marshall
Kinda figured that mathematics doesn't really rhyme with much. Great song

'Mathematics' was not mentioned. that was the question... right?

Lorraine , clear enough for a 10 year old, who wouldn't know what algebra and trigonometry were, but not clear enough for someone who knows what they are (or how to ask a proper multiple choice question). I got the right answer, per the person who asked the question, but it's a BAD question, or at least one without a satisfactory selection of answers.

The only way to answer this question is to sing it. Which I did even though I knew it. Mathematics doesn’t fit the rhyme they’re mostly ologies.
Lorraine
did the people going on about trig, arithmetic, etc, get the wrong answer
Lorraine
Jasonargonaut , bur mathematics is not mentioned
KJ
Horribly worded question, Algebra, Trig and Slide Rules are all mathematics. At least they were when I went to school.
Ripple
kebertxela, me too!
BenThomWood
The correct answer doesn’t really rhyme with anything!
Olly
When I was at school, the words slide rule, trigonometry, algebra were the stuff of nightmares!! As were arithmetic and geometry! But perhaps trigonometry was part of geometry. Who knows, I don't!
Deborah
High school kids now would NOT know what a slide rule is for. I had to use one of those infernal contraptions when I was in school and I hated the bloody thing. A very basic and clunky calculator back then was over $100 and did just basic mathematics.
Bonnie
R.I.P. Sam Cooke! And Mickey Gilley too who just passed away.

The song "Wonderful World" was featured in the movie "Witness" starring Harrison Ford & Kelli McGillis.
Coco Monet
Angelique, So is trigonometry but 'mathematics' itself is NOT mentioned.

Marshall,
Schematics , asthmatics , automatics, statics.
Player #11324748
Player Ejag, how can Harrison Ford out sing Sam Cooke LOL
Player #20188823
algebra is math
Jeorne
I can handle Adv engineering Math but mental arithmetic still overloads my brain's accumulator.

Hey! Wait just a doggone minute here. Trigonometry? algebra? slide rule? Those all have to do with mathematics; but OK, I get it. Still think it's a trick question, sorta.
Gary
andi210461, you mean geometry.
Gary
trigonometry and algebra are math so all of them actually were mentioned in the song but I guess they needed to make a question out of it.
Player #4250921
gmd16, agreed, several branches of mathematics are mentioned so I say throw out the question on a technicality.
Player #3833664
Finally a full blurb with reason for the answer Sadly was a trick question because even though the word maths wasnt directly mentioned
cindyledwards62
isn't trig. ect.. a form of mathematics? at least it was when I went to school .
Player #2491398
Mathematics answer is wrong. Should replace it with Spanish; which is not mentioned in the song.
