Numb3rs

I heard Ira Flatow talk about this TV show on CBS called Numbers. A crime show that uses mathematics to solve crime. How cool is that!

So, of course, I ordered season 1 & 2 from Amazon - and watched it with the kids. And it was fun! I absolutely loved it - and so did Kit - and Laal. We discussed, as a family, the P=NP? problem, Schrodinger's uncertainty principle, Bayesian math, Diffy-Helman encryption algorithm, The Monty Hall problem, etc. etc. etc....

Kit is fascinated by the idea of researching a problem for decades....Laal started appreciating the value of Mathematics (and Kit's intellect) a bit more. And I absolutely am addicted to the show.

I found a blog on the show run by a mathematics department - commentary by authors, etc., etc. A whole new world! So cool!
