A Álgebra é generosa; ela frequentemente dá mais do que aquilo que lhe é pedido. (D'Alembert)
Marcus du Sautoy visits Google’s Brussels office to discuss “Finding Moonshine“.
“Finding Moonshine: a mathematician’s journey through symmetry” is published in the UK by Fourth Estate on the 4th of February 2007. It will also be published in the US by HarperCollins on the 5th of March with the title SYMMETRY.

O mundo gira em torno de simetria – desde o spin de partículas subatómicas até a beleza estonteante de um arabesco. Mas há nisso mais do que o olho pode ver.
Aqui, o matemático de Oxford, Marcus du Sautoy, oferece um vislumbre dos números invisíveis que une todos os objetos simétricos.
Ever since he was at school, actor and comedian Alan Davies has hated maths. And like many people, he is not much good at it either. But Alan has always had a sneaking suspicion that he was missing out.
So, with the help of top mathematician Professor Marcus du Sautoy, Alan is going to embark on a maths odyssey. Together they visit the fourth dimension, cross the universe and explore the concept of infinity. Along the way, Alan does … Ler mais
Alan Davies attempts to answer the proverbial question: how long is a piece of string? But what appears to be a simple task soon turns into a mind-bending voyage of discovery where nothing is as it seems.
An encounter with leading mathematician Marcus du Sautoy reveals that Alan’s short length of string may in fact be infinitely long. When Alan attempts to measure his string at the atomic scale, events take an even stranger turn. Not only do objects appear … Ler mais
Every year my company celebrates Pi Day (March 14 – 3/14 – 3.14 get it?).
Its become a tradition to create an animation to be viewed during the lunch.
This is the 2011 Pi Day video I created. HIATaylorFilms
Music video to “Lose Yourself (In The Digits)” (by Pi Diddy at TeachPi.org), made for Pi Day 2008 by enthusiastic math students at Fort Vancouver High School.

The story of physicist Richard Feynman‘s fascination with the remote Asian country of Tannu Tuva, and his efforts to go there with his great friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton (co-author of the classic ‘Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman‘).
Feynman was dying of cancer when this was filmed, and died a few weeks after the filming.
Originally shown in the BBC TV science series ‘Horizon’ in 1988, and also shown in the USA on PBS ‘Nova’ … Ler mais
BBC Horizon explores the life and times of Richard Feynman – through the eyes of the man himself and his family.
Many aspects of this documentary have been used before in Horizon and Nova episodes, the Messenger series is also referenced.
Presented with his charismatic, passion and zest for life and knowledge, the phrase ‘the pleasure of finding things out’ always sums Richard up and is what is great about science.
… Ler maisRichard Feynman was one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers of the 20th century. He rebuilt the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and it was for this work that he won the Nobel Prize in 1965.
In 1981, he gave Horizon a candid interview, talking about many things close to his heart.
Richard Feynman (1918-88) was one of the most remarkable and gifted theoretical physicists of any generation. He was also known as the ‘Great Explainer’ because of his passion for helping non-scientists to imagine something of the beauty and order of the universe as he saw it.
In this series, Feynman looks at the mysterious forces that make ordinary things happen and, in doing so, answers questions about why rubber bands are stretchy, why tennis balls can’t bounce for ever and … Ler mais
