Numbers (2018)
Numbers brings to life the genius mathematicians who discovered new theories and frontiers in math in a way that have never been seen before to show the beauty of math. Departing from the likes of "serious" documentaries, Numbers will unravel the mysteries of numbers like a sleuth following strands of clues to make math fun and approachable.
Numbers: Season 1 - 5 Episode s
1x1 - Pi
May 1, 2018
All ancient civilizations wrestled with the challenge of calculating the area of a circle by simply using a ruler and compass. However it took 5,000 years to finally come up with a solution. To solve this mathematical conundrum, mathematicians used geometry, quadratic equation, calculus and other math formulas.
1x2 - Infinity
May 1, 2018
The quest to figure out infinite numbers began with Zeno's paradoxes, which also had an impact on Greek views of the universe, and during the Middle Ages, it was forbidden to study infinite numbers due to a ban imposed on Christianity but eventually, infinite numbers were revealed mathematically.
1x3 - Equation
May 1, 2018
Equation began with solving real problems in everyday life and gave remarkably accurate predictions for what may appear to be complex and complicated phenomenon.
1x4 - Zero
May 1, 2018
Zero is a number that was inconceivable to humankind and peculiar in many regards compared to the other numbers. Today, the existence of zero is common knowledge and most people find it hard to understand why it could be different or special.
1x5 - i
May 1, 2018
Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose use this number when explaining the origins of the universe. An imaginary number became a target of criticism among numerous mathematicians and was widely ridiculed during the mid-20th century.
