Everything about maths in Futurama can be found in the maths section of the amazing (and sadly defunct) site La indoblable pagina de Bender bending Rodriguez. Also make sure to check out, a comprehensive website dedicated to mathematics in The Simpsons. Of articles by our Spanish doppelgänger, Alfonso Jesús Población. For those who read Spanish, there is a huge series There is Alex Kasman's Mathematical Fiction Homepage and Oliver Knill's collection of mathematical movie clips (a lot of the links on this page will lead you to this page). To mathematics in the movies that you may also want to check out. There are a number of other websites dedicated By doing so, we hope to extend our book and to keep it up to date. We found that the best way to do this was to create this page.Īlso as we learn of movies, new and old, we will add details to this page. However, weĭid want to be comprehensive, and to make available as much of our source material as possible.

Just about everybody is charmed by Meg Ryan explaining Zeno's paradox in I.Q., Danny Kaye singing about Pythagoras's theorem in Merry Andrew, Lou Costello explaining to Bud Abbott why 7 x 13 =28 in In the Navy, and so on. Over the years, we have found that it is not only professional mathematicians who find the fun in this cinematic mathematics. The movies range from those expressly about mathematicians, to those that, for whatever reason, just happen to have a snippet of humorous mathematical dialogue. Now, as a consequence of that whim, we own a library of more than 800 movies on DVD, VHS, 16 mm, Laserdisc, and some strange thing called aĬED video disc. What's the point? About ten years ago, on a whim, we began to collect movies containing mathematics. Titles will continue to be added, and more clips from these movies will be regularly added to our movie clips page. Movie Database (IMDB) and links to clips from some of the movies. Also included are links to the respective entries in the International It contains a list of titles and short descriptions of about 800 movies that contain mathematics. This page, along with our TV Database, complements our book Mathematics goes to the movies. Must-See maths Movies (criteria: fun, full of maths, enjoyed watching) (TV episodes can now be found at our MTVDB) (Recent additions will be marked with a $$$) ![]()
