Comment j'ai détesté les maths
2013 · 1h 43m · N/A
Documentary, Mystery
Directed by
Olivier Peyon
Overview
What is striking when you talk with mathematicians is that sparkle in their eyes, and their sudden joyful voice trying to share with you a concept, a theory. They continuously use words such as invention, beauty, freedom. You then ask yourself : how such a rich language, this quasi-philosophical proposition about the world becomes rejected by a majority, 'the only discipline where one prides itself to be bad at it'!
