"Mathematical Curves Hidden Around Us" was created to communicate the fascinating beauty of mathematics and physics so that kids will stop drifting away from mathematics and science, produced as a collaboration between Keio University SATO Masahiko Laboratory, and the Benesse Corporation Educational Research and Development Center for middle and high school students.
In the environment that surrounds us in daily life we find phenomena which exist around us are due to applications of universal principles, with discovered order and rules, though many of them are so close that we do not even notice them. This film offers us an opportunity to discover the beauty of these hidden mathematical curves in everyday life.
Not only a film for children, adults too, who at some point found frustration in mathematics can find approaches here to mathematics and physics that have new angles, and ways to enjoy and discover.
It can also simply be enjoyed as a new form of moving image expression which employs mathematical principles in new ways. Date: July 26 (Sat.) and 27 (Sun.), and then, Each Saturday and Sunday in August (except August 3), 2008, 2:00pm-, 4:00pm-
