The TV show
Numb3rs begins
each week with:
We all
use math every day;
to predict weather, to tell time, to handle money.
Math is more than formulas or equations;
it's logic, it's rationality,
it's using your mind to solve the biggest
mysteries we know.
We have developed materials on the mathematics behind each of the episodes of the series. We welcome
comments, suggestions, and contributions to these pages. Send them to
the project director, Rick Durrett (rtd1(at)cornell.edu).
We use the original numbering which is on the DVD. This differs somewhat
from the numbers used on the NCTM page.
