The Beauty and Power of Fractals
via GIPHY
Arthur C. Clarke presents this unusual documentary on the mathematical discovery of the Mandelbrot Set (M-Set) in the visually spectacular world of fractal geometry. This show relates the science of the M-Set to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself. Dr. Mandelbrot in 1980 discovered the infinitely complex geometrical shape called the Mandelbrot Set using a very simple equation with computers and graphics.

Story of the early life of genius and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman
The story of a little‐known mathematician with no permanent job, working in complete isolation, and his important breakthrough towards solving the Twin Prime Conjecture
In April 2013, a lecturer at the University of New Hampshire submitted a paper to the Annals of Mathematics. Within weeks word spread – a little-known mathematician, with no permanent job, working in complete isolation had made an important breakthrough towards solving the Twin Prime Conjecture. Yitang Zhang‘s techniques for bounding the gaps between primes soon led to rapid progress by the Polymath Group, and a further innovation by James Maynard.

Hannah Fry takes a spectacular look at the science of size by imagining a parallel world in which everything is made bigger or smaller
Professor Hannah Fry explores what life would be like if everything was either very large or very small. Could a supersized or miniaturized Earth sustain life? Could humans survive as giants or ants? Examples from nature hold the answers.
This two-part special presented by Hannah Fry shows that when it comes to the universe, size really does matter. Hannah takes the audience into a thought experiment where the size of everything can be changed to reveal why things are the … Ler mais
In the first BBC documentary to be filmed entirely on smartphones, Mark Miodownik reveals the weird materials that have built our high-tech world
Forget oil, coal and gas – a new set of materials is shaping our world and they’re so bizarre they may as well be alien technology. In the first BBC documentary to be filmed entirely on smartphones, materials scientist Prof Mark Miodownik reveals the super elements that underpin our high-tech world. We have become utterly dependent on them, but they are rare and they’re already running out. The stuff that makes our smartphones work could be gone in a decade … Ler mais

Poema para Galileu
Diz a minha mãe que eu comecei a fazer versos aos 5 anos e aos 10 tive a comoção de ver os primeiros impressos e públicos.
Escrever poemas foi sempre para mim um estado de angústia, um sofrimento autêntico. Amorteci todo esse sofrimento durante anos até ao dia em que por motivos dolorosos me desfiz dele por completo na ingénua presunção de que me atrapalhava. Sobre isso

Soluções dos Desafios
Desafio 1
Houve muitos trabalhos que antecederam o de Galileu, no que diz respeito ao movimento. No período de 1280 a 1340, matemáticos de Merton College, em Oxford, meditaram cuidadosamente sobre diversas grandezas que variavam com o tempo. Um teorema geral, conhecido por “Teorema de Merton” ou “Regra da Velocidade Média”, resume um resultado que se mostrou de grande importância.
Este teorema, … Ler mais
