[Maths-Education] More Maths Movies

[Heather Mendick]

This is great :)
   
  My favourite is the bit from Clueless. If you're interested in this then there are quite a lot of clips on youtube that aren't on here. The maths bit from School of Rock is there among other things plus some amazing people have edited together all the maths bit from the Simpsons and done a short version of the episode Girls Just Wanna Have Sums which is yet to air in this country (where Lisa has to dress as a boy to get access to 'hard' maths). There is also lots of Numb3rs stuff (my favourite is the compilation of clips to backing track Save the last Dance though there's no maths in it). 
   
  Also I'm working on a project at the moment to look at maths and popular culture. The website is only in its early stages at the moment but we'll be developing it over the coming months. You can find it at www.londonmet.ac.uk/mathsimages.
   
  Best wishes, Heather

He suggested "check out ma and pa kettle [or the repeat gag
