First World Pythagoras

This video helps students understand the origins and concepts behind Pythagorean theory thus enabling them to appreciate the role of mathematics in everyday life. PYTHAGORAS examines the role of mathematics and numerical relationships in atomic theory and Newtonian mechanics, in stock exchanges and commodities, in Mandelbrot Set fractals and the basic foundations of musical organization. Architecture illustrates the abstractions of Pythagorean perceptions, as does the bounce of popular music and the order of the cosmos. Theory and reality intertwine in a vivid illustration of the influence of the long-dead ancient's thought.
