High Anxieties: The Mathematics of Chaos

High Anxieties: The Mathematics of Chaos (1x1)

Air date: Oct 14, 2008

Documentary which looks at how developments in mathematics over the past 40 years have completely changed our understanding of the fundamental nature of the world we live in. As we approach tipping points in both the economy and the climate, the film examines the mathematics we have been reluctant to face up to and asks if, even now, we would rather bury our heads in the sand rather than face harsh truths.
