Synopsis: How numbers explain our universe and reveal unseen worlds

Math made accessible, engaging, and relevant 

Mathematics forms the foundation for nearly everything we do--from finance to physics, and architecture to astronomy. Math not only describes our world, but also reveals its beauty and mystery. Join Marcus du Sautoy and a host of distinguished experts as they crisscross the globe, bringing the colorful history of numbers to life. 

Meet the men and women who conceived major mathematical breakthroughs and explored the farthest frontiers of abstract thought, often with tragic results. Learn how their discoveries still drive technology, science, and even philosophy. Using computerized visuals and healthy doses of humor, Du Sautoy makes the most complex concepts accessible and engaging. With contagious enthusiasm and boundless energy, he shows that math isn’t merely about making calculations, but also about finding patterns that expose the hidden relationships in our universe.

Review: I have always struggled with Math.  It just doesn't click with me academically.  It has always been my weak point.  Its with that in mind that I found out how interesting math really can be.  Not the actual doing of math, mind you, but the history of its origin and what it really means to the world around us.

This great new documentary absolutely dazzles watches with historical fact and stories that bring to light exactly how important and historically relevant mathematics are.  The relationships between shapes, numbers and even time itself are examined and explored as we're taken on a trip around the world!

Athena produces amazing documentary DVDs and this one is no exception.  The Story of Math is perfect for any homeschooler or classroom from middle school to college.  I personally will just watch it for my own personal knowlege.  We highly recommend this one!
