Great techno music for crunching numbers

In summary, the person finds that listening to upbeat, techno music, specifically "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service, helps them do math homework. They feel a small high when they can keep up with the fast beat of the song. They ask for recommendations for similar music and someone suggests downloading Derrick May's mixes or listening to "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz. The person also mentions that certain MSI songs and "Fallen" by Delirium also help them with math. They compare the feeling to how certain music helps with motivation for exercise.

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 excercise, 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.
