fun or deep insight, or both at the same time...I can’t think of a better present for a clever 12-year old, bored undergraduate, restless retiree, or

A Documentary on R. L. Moore
N Is a Number
A Portrait of Paul Erdó´s
In this film shot in his classroom, Moore passionately explains his method
of teaching, which placed preeminent value on students discovering mathe-
matics on their own. Moore also reflects on the beginnings of his own math-
ematical education in 1877.
This well-shot program is an excellent choice for mathematics students
and others familiar with Erdó´s’ accomplishments. —Booklist 55 minutes, 1966 ISBN: 978-0-88385-906-3 Color DVD

Project Mathematics! DVDs
Project Mathematics! DVDs (No discounts given below the published price.)
Project MATHEMATICS! DVDs explore basic topics in high school mathematics in ways that cannot be done at the chalkboard or in a textbook.
They bring mathematics to life with imaginative computer animation, live action, music, special effects, and a sense of humor. The DVDs
were animated by James F. Blinn, and produced by Professor Tom M. Apostol at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA.
The Project Mathematics! videos are available in bilingual DVD format with 3 different titles grouped on each DVD.
Sines and Cosines, Part III

DVD 1 contains the following 3 programs:
Animation relates the sine and cosine of an angle with chord lengths of a
circle, as explained in Ptolemy’s Almagest. This leads to elegant derivations

Polynomials
Animation shows how the Cartesian equation changes if the graph of a
