Mathematics Illuminated [Macromedia Flash Player]
http://www.learner.org/courses/mathilluminated/
Everything (mathematics) is illuminated in this excellent thirteen-part
series created by Annenberg Media for adult learners and high school
teachers. As their website notes, the series "explores major themes in
the field of mathematics, from humankind's earliest study of prime
numbers, to the cutting-edge mathematics used to reveal the shape of
the universe." First-time visitors can read a brief introduction to the
series, and then look over some of the thirteen units, which include
"Game Theory", "Other Dimensions", and "Geometries Beyond Euclid". Each
unit includes a relevant video segment (free registration required), a
video transcript, and a different interactive feature designed to
complement the material within. Also, visitors can take advantage of a
glossary and a "Math Family Tree", which highlights major mathematical
discoveries from the year 25000 BCE to present-day Fields Medal winner,
Grigori Perelman.
