The Code

Intellectual & entertaining--not just a CPA's DVD
Patterns are the narrator's basis of math. He ponders what be believes to be "THE CODE". Unlike the fictional farce `Da Vinci's Code', this code makes some sense--even to the non-math geniuses (like me). But Marcus du Sautoy, Oxford professor that can be understood, visits such interesting places to demo math--like a travelogue almost. It is both intellectual and BBC2 entertaining--not just for math geeks. Probably mild for the advanced math scholars. Negative numbers is the only non-positive part of this DVD set.

The Code = Math Equations. The code is natural patterns, math, that can be decoded--well, sometimes. Actually it's closer to Leonardo than you might think, for those of us who have studied Da Vinci for real. Google knows `The Code' and uses it constantly.

SDH SUBTITLES for all 3 episodes.
~~1 NUMBERS
Chartres Cathedral --were the numbers used in the structure's architecture from God, as clergy claim? Or a hidden code? Cicada's 13-yr life cycle...

Got this one for the classroom
This one is great for school. It has a lot of information presented in a format that is interesting and keeps one's attention.

2nd two episodes are great
The first episode has a somewhat low density of information. You might want to skip it and then come back or just use clips from it if you are using it in a class room.
