Video director Britta Johnson created this music video for the Lusines single "Two Dots". If my geometry classes had been illustrated like this I would have enjoyed them even more. (Seriously, geometry was one of my favourite classes at school.) It's worth watching full-screen:
One thing I really like about this is that all the mathematical equations are correct and in context. I was watching the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still the other night: a dreadful film whose only bright spark was the scene with John Cleese, playing the inevitable eccentric scientist. The scene was let down by a blackboard full of mathematical gobbledygook, as is par for the course for any Hollywood movie where equations are concerned. Can't we at least balance the parentheses? But thanks go to Britta Johnson for getting it right this once.
