Statistics and Data Analysis in Sports Can math accurately measure an athlete’s ability and predict his or her potential? This program explores ways of assessing what a player might achieve by determining probability and analyzing statistics. Introducing the concepts of dependent and inde- pendent events, the program exhibits and provides real-world illustrations of equations that are essen- tial to joint probability studies.

Understanding Scientific Measurement Emphasizing mathematical relationships, this program uses a simple yet powerful series of experi- ments to study a physical phenomenon—the motion of a steel spring. Viewers learn how to construct equations involving dependent variables, indepen- dent variables, and constants in order to predict and measure acceleration and periods of oscillation. Graphing test results and writing reports are also covered. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online.

The Language of the Universe: Mathematics in Ancient Times This program explores mathematical milestones of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. Topics include Egypt’s unusual method of multiplication and division, Babylon’s base-60 number system, and the contributions of four of Greece’s math- ematical giants: Plato, Euclid, Archimedes, and Pythagoras. $169.95 QGR40029 • DVD / VOD
High Anxieties:
The Mathematics of Chaos Underscoring radical shifts in Western thought, this program explores the history of chaos theory and the mathematical, philosophical, and real-world dynamics that have upended long-held notions of cosmic equilibrium. Viewers encounter the work of Henri Poincaré, Aleksandr Lyapunov, and Edward Lorenz while studying the clash between chaos and order in warfare, manufacturing, economics, and technology.

The Genius of the East:
Mathematics During the Middle Ages During Europe’s Middle Ages, mathematics flourished primarily on other shores. This program discusses mathematical achievements of Asia, the Islamic world, and early-Renaissance Europe. Topics include China’s invention of a decimal place number system, India’s creation of a symbol for zero, the development of algebra by the empire of Islam, and the spread of Eastern knowledge to the West. $169.95 QGR40030 • DVD / VOD
The Frontiers of Space: Mathematics During the Scientific Revolution By the Scientific Revolution, great strides had been made in understanding the geometry of objects fixed in time and space; the race was now on to discover the mathematics of objects in motion. This program investigates mathematical progress during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries in Europe. The work of Descartes, Fermat, Newton, Euler, Gauss, and Riemann is featured. $169.95 QGR40031 • DVD / VOD
To Infinity and Beyond: Mathematics in Modern Times This program addresses mathematical advances of 20th-century Europe and America. The work of Cantor, Poincaré, Gödel, Weil, and Grothendieck is featured. The program concludes by considering one of the great as-yet-unsolved problems of mathematics: the Riemann hypothesis. $169.95 QGR40032 • DVD / VOD
