Math in Movies

This is a collection of movie clips in which Mathematics appears. This is a working document to be extended over time. Currently, there are 29 movies processed for this page. Collected by Oliver Knill, Harvard University.

Some of these are really ingenious finds, like Ma and Pa Kettle and Abbot and Costello and Monty Python? Who knew?

These are definitely worth a review. Check them out!

SIAM Joins Google Book Search Program

Under an agreement signed recently between SIAM and Google, SIAM books will be added to the Google Book Search (GBS) Program.

Book Search has been developed by Google to allow users to search for titles or topics, and then explore segments of the actual book online. It is currently undergoing beta testing, but is available to the public at http://books.google.com

Under the program, more than 330 SIAM books will be digitally reproduced, with portions of each available to online searchers. Eventually, Google hopes to have these digital versions available for purchase in a variety of formats. Meanwhile, links will be available on the Google Book Search pages for motivated users to buy the traditional print versions through SIAM and other online retailers.

Although direct linking to our catalog is down the road a bit, you can see if we own a copy by clicking on the “Find this book in a library”, and entering our zip code in the Location Information box. If we own it, Drexel should be the first listed with a link to our catalog record.
