This is an international production, aimed at making math more intriguing. It is full of splendid visuals and commentaries about the people who helped develop various techniques and methods we all use.
Each episode focuses on 1 concept: Pi, Infinity, Equations, Zero and i. Needs for the concepts are presented, followed by biographical and historical context, and finally, examples of their applications.
Pacing is sometimes a bit odd. I'd like to have seen more examples of the concepts in action, but given the limited 5-episode 1-hour format, that is understandable. It might make you want to study more about these topics.
And there are some fascinating things here. From the episode on Zero, I learned how to multiply using Roman Numerals, and some of the symbols they used to represent 5,000 and 10,000.
Useful for high school students and up. Available on Amazon Prime.
