Dimensions: A Walk Through Mathematics
A film for a wide audience! Nine chapters, two hours of maths, that take you gradually up to the fourth dimension. Mathematical vertigo guaranteed! Dimension Two - Hipparchus shows us how to describe the position of any point on Earth with two numbers... and explains the stereographic projection: how to draw a map of the world. Dimension Three - M.C. The Fourth Dimension - Mathematician Ludwig Schläfli talks about objects that live in the fourth dimension... and shows a parade of four-dimensional polytopes, strange objects with 24, 120 and even 600 faces! Complex Numbers - Mathematician Adrien Douady explains complex numbers. Fibration - Mathematician Heinz Hopf explains his "fibration". Proof - Mathematician Bernhard Riemann explains the importance of proofs in mathematics. Watch the full documentary now (playlist - )

Fractals: Hunting the Hidden Dimension Mysteriously beautiful fractals are shaking up the world of mathematics and deepening our understanding of nature. You may not know it, but fractals, like the air you breathe, are all around you. Their irregular, repeating shapes are found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and craggy mountain ranges, even in the rhythm of the human heart. In this film, we takes viewers on a fascinating quest with a group of maverick mathematicians determined to decipher the rules that govern fractal geometry. For centuries, fractal-like irregular shapes were considered beyond the boundaries of mathematical understanding. Their remarkable findings are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating a new wave of scientific, medical, and artistic innovation stretching from the ecology of the rain forest to fashion design. The documentary highlights a host of filmmakers, fashion designers, physicians, and researchers who are using fractal geometry to innovate and inspire.

The End of God?: A Horizon Guide to Science and Religion As the Pope ends his visit to Britain, historian Dr Thomas Dixon delves into the BBC's archive to explore the troubled relationship between religion and science. From the creationists of America to the physicists of the Large Hadron Collider, he traces the expansion of scientific knowledge and asks whether there is still room for God in the modern world. The relationship between science and religion has been long and troubled: from the condemnation of Galileo by the Catholic Church in 17th century Italy, through the clashes between creationism and evolution in 20th century America, right up to recent claims that the universe does not need God. Delving through the rich archive of programmes from Horizon and BBC Science, Thomas Dixon looks at what lies behind this difficult relationship. He sees the connections between religion and American politics in the story of a more recent court case -the trial of Intelligent Design. Watch the full documentary now (non-English version)

Universe: The Cosmology Quest Most of us are intrigued by questions to do with the origin and evolution of the universe. Where do we come from? Where are we going? These are fundamental questions. It is that the universe and all of the matter and energy out of which we are created was created in a great explosion about 15 billion years ago. Most astronomical theory is arrived at in personal meetings between members of an influential elite. Listen and reflect as researchers discuss discoveries which do not reach the news media, and public at large. It is amazing that this film got made considering the animosity towards alternative ideas in the field. This feature length presentation is a unique mixture of human interest and science documentary film. This is a fact, well hidden from university students and the general public, which is told with clarity and conviction: and potentially leading to the down-fall of the presiding Big Bang theory.

Human Ape Humans are apes. Great apes. Apes all belong to the super-family Hominoidea. The great apes are the family Hominidae which we share with the Chimpanzees, Gorillas and the Orangutan. Our DNA is less than 2 percent different from that of chimpanzees, so from a biological viewpoint, what is it that makes humans so different from the other great apes? Some facts: Each individual chimpanzee has his or her own distinctive pant-hoot, or call, so that the caller can be identified with precision. Orangutans have been observed making simple tools to scratch themselves. Chimpanzees are approximately eight times stronger than the average human. Bonobos substitute sex for aggression, and sexual interactions occur more often among bonobos than among other primates. Orangutans' arms stretch out longer than their bodes - over 7 feet from fingertip to fingertip. Watch the full documentary now (playlist - )

The Beauty of Diagrams Series in which mathematician Marcus du Sautoy explores the stories behind some of the most familiar scientific diagrams. Vitruvian Man - He looks at Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous diagram of the perfect human body, which has many layers from anatomy to architecture, and defines our species like no other drawing before or since. The Vitruvian Man, drawn in the 1480s when he was living and working in Milan, has become one of the most famous images in the world. Leonardo's drawings form a vast body of work, covering every imaginable subject in spectacular detail: from feet, skulls and hands to muscles and sinews; from hearts and lungs to buildings, bridges and flying machines. Copernicus - When Polish priest and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus developed his extraordinary theory of a sun-centered universe 500 years ago, he was flying in the face of both science and religion. To explain what he had done, Newton created a diagram. Florence Nightingale - Can a diagram save lives?

DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms (with the exception of RNA viruses). The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, like a recipe or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information. 1. The Secret of Life - The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA is to science what the Mona Lisa is to painting. 2. 3. 4. 5. Watch the full documentary now (playlist - 4 hours, 25 minutes)

The Story of One Our world is built on numbers and the first of these was the number 1. Starting with scratches on a bone and heading through the Greek philosophers to the development of the Roman Numerals and the Arabic number system that fed through to the numbers we use today. Using Terry Jones semi-comic presentation style, the film is built on two key aspects. The main part of the film is based on Jones' narration, the actual words he says. Without being aloof or inaccessible, the film tells the story in a fascinating and enlightening way – never going into too much detail but doing enough to actually make you feel like you have learn something and have a very broad knowledge base on which to go off and find out more. The other aspect is the delivery style – colorful, irreverent and fun. Jones is a good presenter because he holds these two directions together – seeming genuinely enticed by the subject while also enjoying himself. Watch the full documentary now

Simple Boolean Extraction in Vivaty Studio - 3D Modeling - News This is going to be a very basic tutorial to get you started on some functions. I chose this function as I feel if you master this; it will give you a lot of confidence with the other and easier functions in this program. And, it’s fun. This tutorial assumes you have at least played with a modeling program of some kind, but should still be easy for a beginner to follow, I hope. First, a little background. To follow along, you will have to go and download Vivaty for free at: Let’s get started. Looks pretty much like other 3D modeling programs, doesn’t it? We are going to make a little grass hut with an opening in the front as this will utilize the pre-loaded basic shapes that come with the program. Once the program is launched, go to the upper right tools and select the cylinder. OK, now we get to play with the tools. They are, from left to right, translation (moving), rotating, scaling (sizing), and pivoting. Happy modeling Visit WBandD
