- DirectorDaniel McCabeJaro SavolStarsAisha Hsu ArroyoEric BennettManjul BhargavaExplains where 0 came from & how to work with and think about infinity.
- StarsHannah FryDr Hannah Fry explores the strange rules, natures' mysteries and mystical origins of mathematics.3 episodes
- StarsMassimiliano RussoCédric VillaniDimitris NanopoulosNumbers brings to life the genius mathematicians who discovered new theories and frontiers in math in a way that have never been seen before to show the beauty of math. Departing from the likes of "serious" documentaries, Numbers will unravel the mysteries of numbers like a sleuth following strands of clues to make math fun and approachable.5 episodes
- DirectorDaniel McCabeRichard ReiszStarsDerek AbbottEduard AsaryanLiz BohannonAn exploration of mathematics, including where it comes from and why it explains the physical world; and whether it's a human invention or a hidden language of the universe.
- DirectorGreg McLeodStarsLucy MontgomeryGreg McHughMyles McLeodThe history of mathematical ideas; from the invention of number systems, through Pythagoream theorem to the use of binary in computer technology - plus a few zombies.
- StarsMarcus du SautoyKim RossmoTom NoddyNumbers are the rulers of the universe. What if there is a code for life's perfection? A code making the world we see, the "what we are" and the "everything else in the universe"?
- DirectorPeter GetzelsMathematics describes the real world with remarkable precision. Is mathematics a human invention? Or a discovery, always out there, like mysterious islands waiting to be found? Closer to Truth discerns the essence of mathematics,
- StarsMarcus du SautoyLeonhard EulerEleanor RobsonThe history of mathematics from ancient times to the present day. Narrated by Oxford mathematics professor Marcus du Sautoy, the series covers the seminal moments and people in the development of maths.4 episodes
- StarsDanny Glover
- StarsMichael AtiyahJean DieudonnePeter FranceA look at the some of the most famous mathematical problems yet to be solved, such as Fermat's Last Theorem and the Riemann Hypothesis.
- DirectorAdrian MaloneStarsJacob BronowskiMan invents mathematics.
- DirectorLes ClarkJoshua MeadorWolfgang ReithermanStarsJane FowlerPaul FreesClarence NashDonald's goes on an adventure in which it is explained how mathematics can be useful in real life. Through this journey it is shown how numbers are more than graphs and charts, they are geometry, music and magical living things.*******************
- DirectorStephen CooterStarsSteven BerkoffAnthony AguirrePeter CameronLarge numbers hard to comprehend such as google, googleplex, graham's number and infinity and their significance in mathematics. The infinite room hotel is used to conceptualize infinitely. Infinity comes in different sizes which can be shown mathematically. The finite size universe versus infinite size universe theory. The infinite monkey theorem and Shakespeare. How long would it take a monkey to write Shakespeare? Cosmic inflation theory explains the cosmic background radiation and if it is correct an infinitely expanding universe is implied. Infinitely expanding universe may also mean there are (infinite) multi-universes. In infinite universes anything happens all the time as can be different laws of physics for these other universes.
- DirectorCaroline Ross-PirieStarsPatrick BarlowSusannah DoyleNicholas GecksA brilliant bringing to life of David Hilbert's idea of an infinite hotel. Packed full of references to properties and paradoxes of the infinite, all done with great atmosphere and a great sense of fun
- DirectorAndrew ThompsonStarsMatt CollingsGlen CowanGraham Farmelo
- DirectorTim UsborneStarsDallas CampbellFrank DrakeJill TarterA look at the Drake equation, developed by Dr. Frank Drake as a way to think about the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy that could exist and communicate with us.
- Nature's Mathematics Nature follows a number of intricate and subtle mathematical rules to produce the patterns, shapes, and colour's that we find so mesmerizing.
- A witty and stimulating look at Chance, Logic, Data and S.
- DirectorCatherine GaleStarsHannah FryWhat data is, how it is captured, stored, shared, and analyzed. Engineers of the data age create a technological and philosophical revolution. Modern society runs on data, making information the world's most valuable asset.
