At my geeky "specialized" NY high school, Stuyvesant, we supposedly 
had a cheer that went as follows:

E to the x, dy, dx,
E to the x, dx,
Secant tangent cosine sine,
3.14159!
Go team!

(I've also heard that chant attributed to the Bronx High School of 
Science.) Whether anyone ever actually used this cheer, I don't know: 
I don't think anyone went to our football or basketball games.
