Three films that inspire learning mathematics(created in Hollywood).

The man who knew infinity:

We are always excited to see people geniuses that everything goes to them easily, and our part is that even annoying, there are some people who have made the face of science different because of this genius, and it did not go so easily for them

When you look at high school math, things look pretty boring, especially at first.
In these films, of course, they do not talk about the math they study in high school (although in high levels even high school can be interesting)
I studied three courses in Number Theory, a basic course, a medium course and an extension course.
I learned that the most interesting subject in mathematics is numerology, so the film "The Man Who Knew Infinity" is a book for those who like to see how and how mathematics connects our world to one round and complete thing in which there is a great deal of what we know.
The film is about an Indian genius who is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time - Srinivasa Ramanujan in the film talking about a very specific topic that Srinivasa Ramanujan is trying to solve
For example, if I have the number 2, it can be expressed using two forms (1 + 1, 2 + 0)
It seems easy so far - when you reach the number of 100 possibilities to express the number 100 by connecting numbers smaller than a hundred is very large! The film deals with the genius of Ramongan and how without a degree managed to do things that very few people in history have succeeded, (over 3000 different mathematical identities in number theory!).

Once one of the greatest mathematicians in history Leonard Euler was asked by the Queen of Russia "Do you have proof of the existence of God"

Leonard Euler answered-yes
"If you raise the number e (number of Euler~2.71) in the number of "I" times the "pie" the result is Minus One)
This is my proof that there is a God (of course things are a bit more complicated when one of the smartest people in history says something like that).

Hidden Figures

credit IMDB
"Beware of the children of the poor from whom the Torah will come out"
Trial of the Jewish religion.
In fact, say that you are careful, from the lowest places, the most intelligent Jewish scholars came out (smart people in Judaism have a very strong position - of course they have to be good people together).

Inside the film Hidden Figures, one can see that the possibility of the United States reaching the moon came from the black people, whose status was very low
If the toilets were separate, they would have to deal with very limited information because the information was classified only for white people.

A fascinating film based on a true story! Worth watching (more hollywood style then "The man who knew infinity" )

Good Will hunting

One of the most fascinating films I have seen, the actors, the story, the directing
The legendary Robin Williams (blessed memory)
The story of Will hunting is said to be about a real genius who had a higher IQ than usual.
I will not give you a review on the film I will simply recommend to anyone who loves mathematics to see it (in the case of this film - even those who do not like math)

Sadly I have not seen any of them.
Infinity looks interesting to me, will try to catch up on this one.
Well coming on the subject Maths, I have been very poor in my school days in this subject. I still remember in my 4th grade in one of the test I got zero.....hahaha and my dad fumed up.
May be that's the reason I never came across these movies :)
