THE MATHEMATICS OF CHANGE is the uproarious and moving story of a young aspiring mathematician who unexpectedly discovers his limits as a Princeton University freshman. Acclaimed comic monologuist Josh Kornbluth has toured the U.S. extensively with this Off-Broadway hit, thrilling audiences of math-lovers and math-fearers alike. This concert film captures Josh performing the show in a unique setting: the world-renowned Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll imagine yourself to be covered in chalk dust — and you’ll never look at the number 3 the same way again!

A mathematician offers to sell his soul to the devil for a proof or disproof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Based on "The Devil and Simon Flagg" by Arthur Porges.

The documentary looks at the modern advances in mathematics and how they affect our understanding of physics, economics, environmental issues and human psychology, as well as how developments in 20th Century mathematics have affected our view of the world, and particularly how the financial economy and earth’s environment are now seen as inherently unpredictable. The film examines the influence the work of Henri Poincare and Alexander Lyapunov had on later developments in mathematics. It includes interviews with David Ruelle, about chaos theory and turbulence, the economist Paul Ormerod about the unpredictability of economic systems, and James Lovelock the founder of Gaia theory about climate change and tipping points in the environment. As we approach tipping points in both the economy and the climate, the film examines the mathematics we have been reluctant to face up to and asks if, even now, we would rather bury our heads in the sand rather than face harsh truths.

Representations of Mathematics in Cinema (Canada, 2008, 18 minutes) From Werner Herzog's Enigma of Kaspar Hauser to Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate, Enns provides both good and bad examples of mathematical representation in mainstream, narrative cinema. In context, Enns creates a juxtaposition between the way mathematics is presented in narrative and non-narrative cinema.

Abstract truth, meaning, and purpose are realities that are transcendent to the physical universe, and beauty in science and art is linked to mathematical patterns. Mind came first before matter and not the other way round, and the most profound mathematical discoveries brilliantly predict physical discoveries. John 1:1 states “In the beginning was the Logos” – the logical mind behind everything, which is Christ. With extensive education and experience with thermodynamics and aerodynamics, Prof. Andy McIntosh presents the truth of creation on a variety of fun and intriguing topics.

NOVA leads viewers on a mathematical mystery tour -- a provocative exploration of math's astonishing power across the centuries. We discover math's signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the prediction and discovery of the Higgs boson and the successful landing of rovers on Mars. But where does math get its power? Astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio, along with a colorful cast of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, follows math from Pythagoras to Einstein and beyond, all leading to the ultimate riddle: Is math an invention or a discovery? Humankind's clever trick or the language of the universe?

In an age when genius is a mere commodity, it is useful to look at a person who led a rich life without the traditional trappings of success. A man with no home and no job, Paul Erdös was the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. Born in Hungary in 1913, Erdös wrote and co-authored over 1,500 papers and pioneered several fields in theoretical mathematics. At the age of 83 he still spent most of his time on the road, going from math meeting to math meeting, continually working on problems. He died on September 20, 1996 while attending such a meeting in Warsaw, Poland.
