During our judging session, we saw the immense potential of the Internet and interactive multimedia in terms of reaching out to wider audiences across different regions, ages, and cultures.
However, when a great TV program appears, skillfully tackling a very difficult subject, Advanced Mathematics, you know you have a winner. Huge research and detective work by the program makers has revealed an extraordinary personal story. Through it, and by an excellent blend of computer graphics, analogy and humor, we are taken on a mental trip round the universe and follow the people who helped solve an enigma that has haunted mathematicians for more than a hundred years.
The program is very well paced and makes clever use of repetition and clarification to keep the audience engaged. It achieves something very rare indeed; gently we are led into the minds of great mathematicians. |
