An extensive exploration of mathematical concepts as they appear, or sometimes misappear, in various films. It critically examines mathematical accuracy in movie scenes, from basic arithmetic and algebra to more complex topics like graph theory, calculus, infinity, and higher dimensions. The text frequently references specific movies such as "Good Will Hunting," "A Beautiful Mind," "π," and "Donald in Mathmagic Land," discussing how real mathematicians consult on productions and highlighting common mathematical bloopers in cinema. It aims to complement existing information by focusing on engaging and useful mathematical content found on the big screen, often providing problem solutions and historical context for the mathematical ideas presented.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Math-Goes-Movies-Burkard-Polster/dp/1421404842?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=a6c41465309cb51fca826897b9aee279&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
