There have been a few movies about mathematics and mathematicians in the past few years. I wanted to put a list of movies about mathematics and science together. There are more than I thought and this list isn’t anywhere close to being complete. A short list of movies about real life mathematicians, such as Hidden Figures, as well as dramas about the life of mathematicians, Proof, and the way in which mathematics has been applied in real life, Moneyball.

Even students can’t believe the mistakes they make when they get their tests back. Sometimes it costs students that one mark that is the difference between a pass and a fail.
That’s a hard one. There are many terms in mathematics and you need to know them. They are part of the vocabulary. All subjects have their own vocabulary and without […]
There isn’t really a “best” way. Going to class helps but even then, that’s not necessarily the best way. We’re all different so the way everyone learns best will be different. But one thing everyone that learn math must do is practice exercises, lot of practice exercises. It’s boring especially when you get the answer wrong and don’t know how to fix it but it’s still very important.
For many people they enjoyed math when they were young. Then they hit a point in high school usually, where it no longer made sense. I’m not exactly sure where […]
