Story of Math Collection



Enlightening
My husband is always talking about how everything in life can be explained by math. He believes the secret to life is just a math equation. I used to think he was just babbling, until I watched this three part documentary. I have never been very good with math, but you don't have to be wiz to follow along with this mini series.This set describes numbers and patterns in ways that the layman can understand. And while you might think it would be as boring as sitting through a college lecture, it really isn't. This DVD set held my attention and taught me things about the world I live in that I never knew. I feel like I have a deepened awareness of the magic of math, and I'm so glad I had a chance to watch these fantastic DVDs.

Great collection!
This collection of math stories is great. I have spent some time creating worksheets for the different episodes to help my H.S. students follow along, so I may be watching it a little differently than most. It is very informative, has special effects, and takes time to explain some of the math or the ways people use to do math. I would recommend.

Easy to Follow
My students were very engaged by "The Code". All were very interesting programs in an easy to understand format. They were a bit lengthy though.
