With his black, curly mop of hair, worn out jeans and fingers strumming the guitar, singer Adam Richman poured his heart out to an audience of close to 100 people about his love for fractions.

"Fractions rock; they are far better than decimals," Richman said. "I also like the rational numbers. That's for all you math majors out there."

Richman, a 20-year-old singer and guitarist who has played at over 150 colleges nationwide, let loose about math and other things at the third annual Coffeehouse, held on Wednesday,Feb. 12 in the food court by the Campus Activities Programming Board.

"You all sound like dying cats," Richman, referring to the way the audience yelled and clapped for him, said. "Speaking of dying cats, here's a song about my exgirlfriend."

After playing for over an hour, Richman ended his set with a song called "From the Pain, which is modeled after the now defunct teen angst show "My So Called Life."
