Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

At first glance mathematics and television could be seen as pertaining to opposite worlds, the former is usually seenas abstract, elitist and technical, the latter, popular, objective and non-technical. I will show you some of the tricks
we use, and what we learned so far, writing and presenting the TV show ‘Isto é Matemática,’ broadcast on SICNotícias, the leading news channel in Portugal. One episode will be submitted to the 2016 Short Movie Festival.
