The movies range from those expressly about mathematicians, to those that, for whatever reason, just happen to have a snippet of humorous mathematical dialogue. Over the years, we have found that it is not only professional mathematicians who find the fun in this cinematic mathematics. Just ...
Modern mathematicians refer to that "Theorem" as the Axiom of Archimedes.) Archimedes was an astronomer (details of his discoveries are lost, but it is likely he knew the Earth rotated around the Sun). He was one of the greatest mechanists ever, discovering Archimedes' Principle of ...
aThe next major mathematical advance was by Qin Jiushao (1202 - 1261) who wrote his famous mathematical treatise Shushu Jiuzhang (Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections) which appeared in 1247. He was the first of the great thirteenth century Chinese mathematicians. This was a period of major pr...
The foundations of the modern theory of functions of a real variable were laid by mathematicians of the French school (Jordan, Borel, H. Lebesgue, R. Baire), and later the leading role was assumed by the Russian and Soviet school. In addition to its immediate interest, the theory of ...

The best part is that you don’t need to learn a new set of words for the months. In Chinese, they are expressed by a simple combination of the numbers 1-12 and the word 月 (yuè) – month. Thus, January is 一月 (yī yuè) – the first month, February is 二月 (èr yuè) –...
The five platonic solids were known 3000 years ago. The ancient Greeks also knew why there are only five. Modern mathematicians still study the implications of this ancient knowledge. The Five Platonic Solids At Least as Exciting as a Platonic Relationship A look at symmetry, regular polygons, ...
