Maths at the Movies: pi

This week we watched pi.

Sadly there were no tigers, boats or Dev Patel in this movie.

Nope, this film was an avant garde, mood piece, seething with
questioning the meaning of truth and its place in the lives of
humans and the universe.

In other words pretentious.

However, none Darren Aronofsky's nonsense matters. What you should
be listening for is Ben's rendition of "Euclid's people" a song of
his own creation sung to the tune of "Common people" by pulp.

You've got to hear it to believe it.
