Maths in the Movies
THE IMITATION GAME - Sometimes it is the people that we don't imagine of, are the ones that can do the things that we can't imagine. A brilliant movie about Alan Turin building a computer to break the Nazi's Enigma code. HIDDEN FIGURES - Another brilliant movie about the mathematicians that do the calculations for NASA for their rocket launches and the trajectory for its reentry. THE STORY OF ONE - BBC4 documentary about the story of the Hindu-Arabic Number system. A lot of fun and easy to watch. THE HISTORY OF MATHS - SUPER SIZE ME - in this movie in the first 10 minutes there are a lot of statistics that may be worth pursuing. The film is worth watching for the ethics that are involved in it. HIDDEN FIGURES - Is a brilliant movie about NASA in its infancy using mathematics to calculate orbits and entry points to return their space crafts to earth. This is all before computers were used to do their calculations and all calculations were done by hand. It is also in the era of segregation which the mathematicians and NASA have to deal with. | ||||||||
