Betrand Russell; "Beauty of mathematics"

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music." —Betrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Arnold William Russell, British philosopher, logician, mathematician,historian, and social critic from the XIX-XX century, described mathematics with the quote we have above, and he could not be more successful with this expression. As well as it is described in the introduction of the present blog, mathematics are everything in our lives; but on the other hand, it is difficult to imagine it... then, what could be better than a video showing it? After researching and looking for examples thanks to the media I have, I was able to find a video which concentrates different examples of our everyday life and how it is related to math in just 1:40 minutes. It bring us different examples: Mathematics involved in computers, in our footprint or even in the area of each snowflake.

Then, let´s go straight to the point:

Beauty of Mathematics

Brilliant, right? The video show us how everything can be calculated using maths; probability of the dice, equilibrium of the top, noise made by the doors of the metro etc... Therefore, using mathematics, we are supposed to "predict" what is happening and what is going to happen, and that is why mathematics are so important in our lives.
