1. The Tenth Dimension
2. Outside in (Turning a sphere inside out)
3. Flatland the film (Trailer)
The full movie is available on DVD, and of course, you can also get “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”
, dirt cheap (a classic geek novel for less than 4 bucks). If you prefer, you could pick up the annotated hardcover version: “The Annotated Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”
. Highly recommended.
4. Math Education: An Inconvenient Truth
This short video shows what’s wrong with the current widely adopted methods of teaching mathematics (fortunately though, such practices have not caught on everywhere).
5. Math Education: A University View
You can consider this video a follow-up to the previous one.
