Maths at the Movies: Good Will Hunting

Last week we did A Beautiful Mind and now Good Will Hunting. We are
really hitting all the well-known maths films at the moment aren't
we?

More importantly joining us this week we have the wonderful

Dr James Grime


Philanthropist, playboy, billionaire... he is none of this
things, but he may have identified the real Will Hunting!

This week we touch on such subjects as:

Is University a scam?

Good Will Hunting needs a prequel!

Will James and Liz ever write a paper about the maths of
Dirty Dancing?



 

If you're interested in watching Good Will Hunting you can follow
