Morrie's Law
Morrie's law is a special trigonometric identity. Its name is due to the physicist Richard Feynman, who used to refer to the identity under that name. Feynman picked that name because he learned it during his childhood from a boy with the name Morrie Jacobs and afterwards remembered it for all of his life. Identity and generalisation : \cos(20^\circ) \cdot \cos(40^\circ) \cdot \cos(80^\circ) = \frac. It is a special case of the more general identity : 2^n \cdot \prod_^ \cos(2^k \alpha) = \frac with ''n'' = 3 and α = 20° and the fact that : \frac = \frac = 1, since : \sin(180^\circ-x) = \sin(x). Similar identities A similar identity for the sine function also holds: : \sin(20^\circ) \cdot \sin(40^\circ) \cdot \sin(80^\circ) = \frac. Moreover, dividing the second identity by the first, the following identity is evident: : \tan(20^\circ) \cdot \tan(40^\circ) \cdot \tan(80^\circ) = \sqrt 3 = \tan(60^\circ).

Eppie Morrie
"Eppie Morrie" is one of the Child Ballads (No. 223), and is of Scotland, Scottish origin. The author and date are unknown, and as is common with ballads of this type and period, several versions exist. It was printed in James Maidment's anthology ''A North Country Garland'' in 1824. That version is reprinted in James Kinsley's ''The Oxford Book of Ballads'', 1969. Although the lyrics were transcribed by Francis James Child, it is uncertain if the original melody has been retained. The earliest recordings are from the performances of Jimmy MacBeath in 1951 and later Ewan MacColl; a more recent version by Andrew Calhoun forms part of his border folk song anthology ''Telfer's Cows''.

She refuses, in some versions because she already has a suitor, and in others because she considers Willie to be unworthy of her. First, Willie ta ...
