What are some good movies / documentaries about maths?

Mirin the detail in that pic.

I bet you couldn't do a single problem in the IMO, kek

>I bet you couldn't write a single meaningful paper in a internationally peer reviewed journal, kek

Fuck off gook, you're NOT a real mathematician and chances are you never will be.

It's outstanding

Stay mad and /pol/ faggot, I'm white

Fuck off cumskin, you're NOT a real mathematician and chances are you never will be.

numberphile.

also i watched this today, humorous, mildly entertaining, yet educational doco about the invention of numbers

Neither will you retard.

>yfw I'm so good at what I do I've already been offered a permanent lectureship and I haven't even done my defense yet.
No really post your face, I want to see it.

We jews have been the pioneers of maths while you squint eyed retards were busy inventing the abacus. Now keep your head down.

You're oven fuel. Don't even quote me.

lmao for one smart jew, we have 10 chinese geniuses. You are outnumbered and outgunned when it comes to the smarts.

Remind me who has more fields medals again? Before we even start to consider the fact that there are literal billions of you gook roaches infecting the planet's surface.

The life of Pi

omg my fav movie

Veeky Forums won't like this, but they're simply wrong: The Man Who Knew Infinity is actually a fairly decent film treatment of math as-such, and what the process of doing math is actually like. Yes it's dramatized, because It's A Movie You Dip, it has to give people other things to latch onto apart from the math itself. And there really was a certain dramatic arc to Ramanujan's life, a story worth telling.

And there actually is relatively (by film standards) substantive mathematical material presented in the movie: reference is made to the gamma function, the partitions bit is spelled out for people, different aesthetic approaches to math are presented (this is important as well), and the taxicab meme is even thrown in at the end. Ramanujan writes out some sort of an elliptic integral in a series representation on the blackboard, which actually stands a check IIRC. No you're not going to get IUT in the film, but it's perhaps unrealistic to expect such of a movie. A documentary, maybe.

This dramatic life-arc is unusual of mathematicians. Most mathematicians lead extremely dull lives, which is why when a Galois-personal-life meme comes along, people latch onto it, because there's actually a little sexiness to that story, which doesn't come along very often in the private lives of mathematicians.

My point is that the recent Ramanjan movie actually tries to present some actual math and explain a bit about why people do it and care about it, and what their private lives and interactions can be like (albeit in a dramatic example), and it succeeds to a viable degree. Most other movies that are anything to do with math don't even manage this: pi is a fun aesthetic student film but he's just rambling about spirals, pi, arithmetic etc and not actually doing anything truly mathematical.
