I really liked the picture of the kitten saying mu!

I was working at a Math Camp for Urban Girls this past week, and of course the topic of pi r^2 came up, and we trotted out the cliche “No, pies are round!”

You have a great website/blog, here!

Thanks for the information. It’s a real shame particularly for those, like me, who knew the old maths institute well. I did enjoy watching it when it was available – perhaps a silent version could be shown instead?

I’m glad you liked G103 – it was a lot of fun to make.

Maths Club (which was a sort of forerunner to G103) is unfortunately not available – it was never intended for general distribution, so the writer/director never sorted out copyright clearance for the background music he used.

I found this:

‘Gentlemen, welcome to Maths Club. The first rule of Maths club is, you do not talk about Maths Club. The second rule of Maths club is, you do not talk about Maths Club. The third rule of Maths club, someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the problem’s over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a problem. Fifth rule, one problem at a time fellas. Sixth rule, no physics no stats. Seventh rule, problems will go on as long as they have to. And the eigth and final rule, if this is your first night at Maths Club, you have to do maths.’

Damn if only such a thing existed! (I’m particularly liking the sound of no physics and no stats!):D

Oops, I hadn’t seen this post before posting mine!

What do you know about ‘math’? is one which I’ve found recently, and there’s the Tom Lehrer one which I’m not too sure about!

Thanks for the G103 link. I’d not seen that one yet.

I will say this: the one student discussing topology is correct. It’s almost always about balls.
