DVD: The Story of Maths (Marcus Du Sautoy
BBC’s The Story of Maths – Marcus Du Sautoy
Marcus Du Sautoy presents a four-part series for the BBC which manages to present the story of maths in a very entertaining way.
This video is worth watching as a family – it is a great way to set the context of maths and it’s significance in the advancement of the human race, and perhaps inspire the next generation to see the importance of maths skills.
You can’t learn maths from tv. Maths is a doing subject and you can only learn maths by doing it. Learning maths from tv is too much like babies learning to talk by watching daytime tv.
