a question about math education and motivation for learning math
I'm interested in movies about or related with mathematics or physics, I mean not documentaries which I also consider movies, but artistic or mainstream films about math. Now I have the following in mind:
Aronofsky-pi
I think those kinds of movies are inspirational stuff; I mean for kids to get interested in the power of modern mathematics. For example, I think a realistic-fiction movie about Perelman or Feymann would be very interesting and inspirational for everyone.
What stories you remind and what scientific stories would you like to see in a film,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Thanks.
Personally, I would like to see Grothendieck, Perelman, Claude Shannon, Janos von Neumann or Goedel. I totally think the question belongs here, is a question about math trough inspirational stuff that can rely on math education
It odd to have accepted an answer as the best answer just one hour into a question that clearly invites lots of different answers. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I hate to be a party pooper, but the part about "what scientific stories would you like to see in a film" is pretty much off-topic for this site,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the FAQ says: "If your motivation for asking the question is I would like to participate in a discussion about ______, then you should not be asking here." I think you should remove that part of your question. Rahul Narain Nov 22 '12 at 4:26
It possible that this movie would be of interest to a non-mathematician. As I recall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the puzzles were all very easy and would be known/easily solved by many mathematicians. For example, one of the puzzles was the three light bulb problem where you touch bulbs for warmness. I wish they had commissioned someone competent to come up with all new puzzles specifically for the film; watching the room occupants marvel at the novelty of these known puzzles ruined it for me. Reinhold is Math in the Movies. For example, see Stand and Deliver. This is an inspiring movie! And it is based on a true story,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], directly relevant to math education (as it is about a high school mathematics class in urban LA, and the teacher that inspired them).
Consider, also Fermat, BBC's documentary on Prof. Wiles' proof of Fermat's last therorem.
Also N is a Number: A Portrait of Paul Erdös,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In terms of what/who I'd like to see a motion picture devoted to: I'd like to see a motion picture and/or documentary about Georg Cantor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose work was not not well received by many of his time, but nonetheless, revolutionized mathematics.
Also, consider the work of Ian Stewart: Symmetry, The Mathematics of Life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and others could make for wonderful films, and Stewart has written a lot of fiction as well. After exploring Georg Cantor's work on infinity and Henri Poincare's work on chaos theory, he looks at how mathematics was itself thrown into chaos by the discoveries of Kurt Godel, who showed that the unknowable is an integral part of maths, and Paul Cohen, who established that there were several different sorts of mathematics in which conflicting answers to the same question were possible. He concludes his journey by considering the great unsolved problems of mathematics today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the Riemann Hypothesis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers. A million dollar prize and a place in the history books await anyone who can prove Riemann's theorem.
I would love to see a movie that shows one of the main areas that we mathematicians are interested in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], namely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the study of symmetry. This movie would show the absolute beauty that nature herself uses and how we use mathematics to search and describe this symmetry. There is much that can be explored and discussed from flowers, art, architecture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], music, human body, dna, crystals, microscopic organisms, universe, multiverse and many others. Conclusion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mathematics is beautiful! Amzoti Nov 22 '12 at 4:06
