One Good Movie
by Stewart
Check out the Story of One. I loved the fact that I learned stuff while being entertained with silly animation. A few stories cover Arabic Numerals, the mathematician Fibonacci, and how binary code works (the last illustrated using hard boiled eggs...huh?). The movie is full diversions like a story about the greek mathematician Pythagoras and a skit with Roman Numerals and the Abacus competing against Arabic/Indian Numbers to see who can calculate compound interest the fastest...and the most correct. Another diversion was a visit to the British computer named "Colossus" which used binary code to break German code in WWII. What a cool movie.
