"The Code" - SBS On Demand great for teaching circles, pi, SHM, prime numbers and more!!

This tv program follows a mathematician as he seeks to discover the 'code' of numbers hidden in the world. The fantastic way that God has made the world so that all the numbers work together so beautifully.

This documentary is very well put together and I would be very happy to show relevant sections to my students.

The first half of this program looks at:

  • Prime numbers
  • simple harmonic motion - music
  • Circles
  • Pi is irrational

    Are you serious??? Why does everything have to do with god? Can't you just say that it is just because it is - it wasn't intervened with. Because if the numbers didn't work together, then we probably wouldn't be here and in a position to say "hey nothing works together, so it must not have been created so beautifully by god". Bigots like you who spoil proper sciences are what the world can do without, especially in the 21st century!
