Documentary of mathematics. [duplicate]

Solution 1:

BBC's The Story of Maths is a four part series outlining various aspects of the history of math.

See this wikipedia page for a synopsis.

Solution 2:

The Code, by Marcus du Sautoy.

This is a nice, 3 part documentary about how mathematics can be used to describe the world around us. It's not particularly historical, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it; there's a lot of interesting examples in there that I hadn't seen before.

You can find the 3 parts on youtube (though I'm not 110% sure of the legality of this...), just search for something like 'The code Marcus du Sautoy'.

Solution 3:

You can search on the webpage of Zala film : http://zalafilms.com/index.html, there are many mathematical films for example, the documentary about Paul Hamos : "I want to be a mathematician", Julian Robinson and the 10th problem of Hilbert, A Beautiful Mind(film about John Nash).....

There are more documentaries by BBC, however they are about physics, you can browse the webpage of BBC Horizons. They are also very interesting.
