Yep. That is the best one also - #1 in the mathematical community. Knock "Good Will Hunting" out of there because it really doesn't belong. That was marginal as a theme in the movie... and pretty naively done in the script.
One of the best mathematician of all time even at his time of his last breath when his professor come to meet him in hospital he able to done the calculations on the spot on taxi no in which his professor has come into sum of 2 perfect qube and able to tell that it it was smallest no which can be split into 2 different ways in both perfect qube ( 1729 = 10³ + 9³ = 12³ + 1³ )
Seen all of them and liked them all. My fave has to be “A beautiful mind” the fact that you can overcome a mental disease has to be proof of how strong and smart this individual has to be. Can’t even wrap my head around it.
Nr 1 is "The man who knew infinity" because it is about a great mathematician, Ramanujan! And it talks about mathematics, not about crying over un unhappy chilhood!
I haven’t watch any of them but I think the crying over an unhappy childhood movie tells a story of what it really means to be gifted so I think the movie is pretty good
A couple of excellent British films are missing from the list... -- *A Brilliant Young Mind (2014)* about an autistic teenage boy who finds himself on the UK team at the International Maths Olympiad. -- *The Man Who Knew infinity (2015)* true story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the brilliant Indian mathematician who grew up in poverty in Chennai and had no formal maths education, but earned a scholarship to Cambridge University where he produced groundbreaking new theorems.
Just watched "Ramanujan" (2014) film, and what was in this film that wasn't included in "the man who knew infinity" was that he tried to commit closed airways via train, fortunately he survived i.e. the du saw the duu on the floor, they both knew what he was doing, so he stopped the train and saved ramanujan. 👽 I don't know why Ramanujan's mother is against him and his wife, though. Is it because he went to a foregin country which kinda conflicts with their belief? it's like doing something, but in order to do that something you gotta do something that's considered unlawful or somet like dat. However, another guy said to another guy that he has been london, i.e. need not worry about their belief, as they had to ask for forgiveness to their goddess for crossing the sea.
@@rickdesper I'll be damned, I was dead wrong, wasn't I? I got distracted by my dog and must have missed that part. I thought I had paused the video, but I must've goofed and missed that. Thanks for pointing out my cranial flatulence.
Two of these movies are fiction. Srinivasan Ramanujan is a towering figure in mathematics. A century after his death, people are still finding treasures in his notebooks! Someone should make a movie about Euler, Riemann, Maxwell, or Newton. I'll watch those movies.
The Man Who Knew Infinity was based on true events. Good Will Hunting & Gifted were both fiction. Hidden Figures & A beautiful mind were based on fact - like "The man who knew Infinity" (which is my favorite) but it was also sad.
Highly recommended: The Man who knew Infinity 5 Gifted (2017) 4 Hidden Figures (2016) 3 The Imitation Game (2014) 2 A Beautiful Mind (2001) 1 Good Will Hunting (1997)
#1 McKenna Grace is an unbelievable young actress who is perfect for this role! She's simple, but brilliant in this part. Extremely exceptional acting to make this part very believable. She makes this part work with her acting abilities, almost grown up like an adult in this small body...
I enjoyed these films and appreciated the true life stories behind them I went to see Hidden Figures in a theatre 4 times while it was playing. Fascinated and wondering how many other stories about women geniuses have been kept hidden.. now looking for the film The Man Who Knew Infinity.
The Man Who Knew Infinity. In the mathematical community, this is the best. Faithful to the true biography of one of the top mathematicians of the 20th century. Ramanujan was right up there with John Nash for sure, almost at the level of a Grothendieck or Hilbert. "A Beautiful Mind" was a cringeworthy movie for those who really knew the story of John Nash and his accomplishments. Good Will Hunting shouldn't be on the list at all, mathematics was a marginal theme at best and they didn't write about it with any kind of real understanding.
Ramanujan would have rejected the description "The Man Who Knew Infinity" . To "know" something means to have knowledge of it entirely which is illogical in the case of infinity , you would require an infinite mind to do so !
@@dongraham4760 Yet it was famously said of him (wish I could recall by whom) that "every positive integer was a personal friend of his." An infinite set, of course. ;-) Still, from that title, I would have thought of Georg Cantor. Fred
The true saying is: "People have no idea what they have, until they lose it". Also, the story of Nash and his wife is by far the best, because not only is the real story even weirder than the fiction, but it is indeed real. Much like Alan Turing's story.
There was a good older movie about Turing w Derek Jacobi. It dealt w more of the issue about homosexuality being illegal in Britain at the time and how it impacted Turing's life & career than did the Cumberbatch film. Both good films just different focus.
I nominate 'Gifted' should have been #1. All the others talk about the struggle, but 'Gifted' goes a step beyond. It glimpses into the price that has to be payed by these individuals and window into what they give up to achieve these great discoveries. I believe if you watch this movie you can't but moved by its story.
McKenna Grace also plays young Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time, and genius Paige in Young Sheldon. I expect HUGE things from this young lady in the future.
Agree with the comments that 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' should be on the list. I would put 'Hidden Figures' as my #1 followed by TMWKI as #2. I still get emotional whenever I watch the HF scene with the labelled 'Coloured' coffee pot.
My favorite part of Hidden Figures is the scene integrating the women's restroom. This is an important lesson on how to overcome institutional prejudice. Once the White Male project manager realized that segregated women's restrooms was hurting his team's productivity, down went the signs and the barriers. If suppression of rights can be shown to actually be hurting the oppressor, they are suddenly much more open to change.
Not just in the list but "the man who knew infinity" should be on #1.it has many more excellent scenes than hidden figures. I am not downplaying hidden figures. In this 5 only 3 are real stories. The ramanujan with 0 resources done wonders in mathematics . His books are great assets even today. He is vegetarian But died at 32 bcoz of disease caused when he was in britain. He is self taught man with 0 teachers and one hindu scripture
There is a 1951 movie called "No Highway in the Sky" starring James Stewart as a quirky obsessed aeronautical engineer who predicts a new model of airplane will suffer a catastrophic failure after a certain number of operating numbers. Don't recall that it focuses on the math so much, but it's there. The basic theme is the same as the movies shown here: genius has to battle the odds to prove what others are unable or unwilling to understand.
If you haven't noticed it yet, the lead roles are white if not American or British portraying Americans. So.. the man who knew infinity is Indian. That's the hint.
I did A-level Math. Logarithms and Partial Differentiation e.t.c. Most people won't use more than GCSE maths. I used to work for a Large Multinational Software consultancy. Never needed to know more than GCSE maths. They do teach basic Differentiation and Integration at GCSE level. Computer based Math Learning tools really helped me a lot.
I don't even know what GCSE math level is and I have a masters in electrical engineering. Throughout my career I mostly used complex algebra and laplace transforms.

Stand and Deliver (I was a mathematics teacher when it first came out, and I can remember my students' saying "Sir, you have to go watch it.") Great story. Great movie.
I agree with the comment Ramanujan "The man who know infinity". It was a nice story about a great mathematician. However, I just saw an even better fictional Korean story "In Our Prime". Honestly, an amazing movie on Mathematicians. It would mike my top five list for sure. Probably right behind "A beautiful mind"
A Sheldon Cooper does not work at nasa. I mean, engineers and rocket scientists work there. He could as well be a street cleaner or a criminal if he works at nasa!
It is surprising that this channel/show makers either did not know "The Man who knew Infinity" or do not consider it worth mentioning. Even if they put all the five of these on one side of the balance and "The Man who knew Infinity" on the other, the latter would outweigh them hands down.
Even in this time and age, S. Ramanujan suffered from racial discrimination as he had in his short lifetime. How can 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' be excluded in this list?
Having watched the updated version, with "The Man Who Knew Infinity" as #4 on the list, I have this to say: "Thank you for adding S. Ramanujan's story to the list." Keep it up. PS.: I would wanted it to be among the first Three. Just being frank. Well done all the same.

A guy comments “Where is the man who knew infinity”, literally all the people “OMG U FORGOT THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY SO TERRIBLE WOW THIS IS A BAD LIST” Lmao
The grandmother of that child (the lady at the door) also thought so, that's why the child is orphan, because her mother killed herself, for not being happy with her life, despite being an accomplished mathematician. Every child, no matter how different must be allowed to play and to do child-stuff. You force them to do math all the time and *surprise surprise* they grow up depressed
These two people Shakuntala Devi and sir ramanujan was also acknowledged by most famous professors and mathematician of that time as well as Guinness books of world record
Alan Turing.. an incredible genius that NOBODY knew about! Shoulda been number one just because of his gift to humanity (he created the first digital, programmable computer via a mechanical monster). "The Imitation Game". I think though that as a movie "A Beautiful Mind" was a helluva movie. I also liked "The Accountant" with Ben Aflack. and finally that woman working at NASA. she put us on the moon... another one that NOBODY knows about. The next step is the brilliant Scientists behind JWST and those that are about to use this awesome instrument.
@@sachinnandakumar1008 I knew of it but had not watched it till reading this list...I would put it at #1 (Having seen all the others) and dump Good Will of Hunting off the list...Folks may think it is a good movie...but doesn't belong here....and Gifted all tho one of my favorites doesn't belong on the list either.
OK, that's a mighty hard list to argue with! Maybe add one about Ramanujan? ("Every positive integer was a personal friend of his.") And is there a movie about Paul Erdös? I also think there's very strong movie potential in the story of Évariste Galois; don't know of any being made about him, though. (I'm a mathematician/physicist who's not much into movies, but I've actually seen two of these five. The Imitation Game, and Hidden Figures.) Fred
I watched Gifted *2 Good will hunting *2 Hidden Figures* 2 Never knew about “ The limitations Game” I don’t think I have the stomach to watch it Those 3 movies are captivating on every level
A Brilliant Mind? If you meant A Beautiful Mind, it's #2. EDIT: ah, I guess you meant A Brilliant Young Mind! Looks pretty good, I'll have to check it out.
Well I came here to comment for the movie "The Man who knew infinity" but I think the movie has won hearts of audiences all over the world Lots of love from INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳
They simply MUST make a movie based on the life of Zhang (the Goldbach breaktrhough guy). That might be the greatest maths story ever. The prodigy that never was, who lived amongst the insane and never became insane, who never died of a stupid disease, who lived and worked and loved, who became an old unknown man and who would have died as an unknown man - unless...
That machine the Gal is using is a Comptometer, to uses it you had use two hand and it could only add up or count down (addition and division). Two multiply you had to select the required digits with both hands and repeatedly press all the keys at the same time. Later style machine had a rotating handle which wound clockwise and anti clockwise to add, subtract, multiply and divide and a shift key. To cut down on how often you had t0 wind the handle there were short cut you could use. To multiply x 9, you entered the number, would the handle anti clockwise to subtract the number once, then shift left once and wind the number once adding ten times the number to the result. (- 1 times the number, shift and then add 10 tomes the number = 10 -1 = 9). I used one of these in my Cost Accounting Department in the early 1960s When the the space programme started hand held calculator were available, A HP calculator was used in the capsules sent to the moon for navigation and landing, Comptometers were no longer in use, the operators were one of the best paid jobs in a company and there would be dozens of these operators in one room. The noise created was enough to make you deaf. No Health and safety regulations in that age!

Liked the list. I had already seen most of these movies, and already had plans to see "Hidden Figures", but I just learned about "Gifted" and I'm looking forward to watching it. Thanks
Yeah It is just a great movie, and I want the song at the end to play at my funeral. The scene where her teacher comes out of the bedroom with her Uncle is hysterical .
@@davejohn255 - The scene in the maternity waiting room was pure genius. It brought a 67 year old man to tears. And one of the reasons I watched it was because I also loved 500 days of summer so much.
I agree with 3 of them (GWH, Hidden Figures, Beautiful Mind). I'd replace the other 2 with the one everyone else has mentioned, as The Man Who Knew Infinity is not one of my favorite mathematics movies, but movies period. And although it was more about a math teacher and not necessarily a mathematician, I'll finish it up with Stand and Deliver, which was a fucking epic movie in all senses of the word. And like the others (except Good Will Hunting), was based on a true story.
@Daily Dose Of Motivation Yah, Jaime Escalante. Taught a bunch of inner-city LA kids math and they passed a test that I'd wager 97-98% of the populace would fail.
Great list. When I just clicked in, I swear to God I thought to myself, if Good Will Hunting isn't at the top of this list, I'm hacking into your channel.
It was only a TV series, but Numbers was pretty good and, for the first two seasons, introduced new mathematical concepts and how they could be applied, or were being applied, to human society.
I just came here to see all the obligatory comments from people who think they know some other movie that should be included instead of discussing or applauding those that were selected.
Man who knew infinity didn't just show how ramanujan makes discourses in mathematics and new series which is now revolutionizing string thoery Universe and also making new startling work on partitions which is humanly impossible
I love your channel and most of the time I agree with you. But I can't believe you didn't include The Man Who Knew Infinity!!!! That guy is prolly the greatest mathematician of 20th century.
Cool down bro.. We all know nowadays Indians are ever proud of Ramanujan. If it ain't the British who made a movie about him Indians wouldn't know shit about his existence. Indians are indeed the best in math, but the worst in unity. They need help of others
@@sachinnandakumar1008 Thats true. But Indians were the first with numerals, the inventors of the '0' (zero), binary numbers and much more. Some say that these numerals come from the Arabs, known as algebra. But they originated from India known as Hindu numerals what even most Indians do not know till this date.

Yesss i cant believe nobody has mentioned this one!
When did it came out?
‘The Man Who Knew Infinity’ - a story of genius Ramanujan, should be at the top.
I agree with the comment Ramanujan "The man who know infinity". It was a nice story about a great mathematician. However, I just saw an even better fictional Korean story "In Our Prime". Honestly, an amazing movie on Mathematicians. It would mike my top five list for sure. Probably right behind "A beautiful mind"
The Man Who Knew Infinity is the best masterpiece movie on medieval,modern genius. Sir Yogi Ramanujan 🙏❤️
Sheldon cooper working at nasa. Makes sense
A Sheldon Cooper does not work at nasa. I mean, engineers and rocket scientists work there. He could as well be a street cleaner or a criminal if he works at nasa!
@@u.v.s.5583 What
and he is still a jerk...
@@richardrombouts1883 u didn't get the joke. Did u ?
that would explain why the rockets keep blowing up.
It is surprising that this channel/show makers either did not know "The Man who knew Infinity" or do not consider it worth mentioning. Even if they put all the five of these on one side of the balance and "The Man who knew Infinity" on the other, the latter would outweigh them hands down.
Even in this time and age, S. Ramanujan suffered from racial discrimination as he had in his short lifetime. How can 'The Man Who Knew Infinity' be excluded in this list?
Batman. 🏴☠
Having watched the updated version, with "The Man Who Knew Infinity" as #4 on the list, I have this to say: "Thank you for adding S. Ramanujan's story to the list." Keep it up.
PS.: I would wanted it to be among the first Three. Just being frank. Well done all the same.
WOW!...not a single comment without recommending "The Man who knew Infinity"
Feels so damn proud to be an Indian!!
Thank you Ramanujan ❤🙏
U need to be. U guys are really gifted
Where "The man who knew infinity"...?
"5:41"
Iam really happy to announce to you that the very best team
I never regret working with they are very great *p y p t o l m o n . x y z*

As much as we don't usually recognize those gifted ones, they literally made us who we're today. Beautiful mind, indeed.
A guy comments “Where is the man who knew infinity”, literally all the people “OMG U FORGOT THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY SO TERRIBLE WOW THIS IS A BAD LIST” Lmao
Allgebra thieves spotted who think earth is flat and get a stomach ache when people who point out there bs for centuries get recognition......😂
Where is the man who knew infinity?

@@tippyb8613 you’re just jealous 😂

"The Man Who Knew Infinity" is best movie on mathematician I have ever seen. The Great Ramanujan.
Saw Paige in the "Gifted" and then Sheldon in "Hidden Figures" -- it's like they only have so many actors to cast that look "smart" lol.
yeah me too .. I have watched Gifted but didn't know it was Paige from young sheldon. Now i know:)
Don't miss Octavia Spencer in "Gifted" and "Hidden Figures".
1) The man who knew infinity
2) Shakuntala Devi
2 movies that need to be added to the list
also super 30
Then go make a list and put them on it.
A seven year old who can do advanced calculus is never going to have a "normal" life.
Only because "normal" is the majority.
Sylvia: I agree with you.
@@DaveWard-xc7vd Ooooh, thats one BIG fact.
Dont be normal
The grandmother of that child (the lady at the door) also thought so, that's why the child is orphan, because her mother killed herself, for not being happy with her life, despite being an accomplished mathematician.
Every child, no matter how different must be allowed to play and to do child-stuff. You force them to do math all the time and *surprise surprise* they grow up depressed
These two people Shakuntala Devi and sir ramanujan was also acknowledged by most famous professors and mathematician of that time as well as Guinness books of world record
Proof, with Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the best I have seen and is specifically about mathematics; should definitely replace Imitation Game IMO
Yes! I was looking for that movie on the list!
Alan Turing.. an incredible genius that NOBODY knew about! Shoulda been number one just because of his gift to humanity (he created the first digital, programmable computer via a mechanical monster). "The Imitation Game". I think though that as a movie "A Beautiful Mind" was a helluva movie. I also liked "The Accountant" with Ben Aflack. and finally that woman working at NASA. she put us on the moon... another one that NOBODY knows about. The next step is the brilliant Scientists behind JWST and those that are about to use this awesome instrument.
Watches video to find new movies to watch... Reads comments, I choose "the man who knew infinity"
@@sachinnandakumar1008 I knew of it but had not watched it till reading this list...I would put it at #1 (Having seen all the others) and dump Good Will of Hunting off the list...Folks may think it is a good movie...but doesn't belong here....and Gifted all tho one of my favorites doesn't belong on the list either.
It is hard to find a mathematics movie better than The Man who knew Infinity. I can't imagine why it is not on this list.
Me too 🎉
"The Man Who Knew Infinity" comes at index 0
it must come in top 3
at infinity
Indeed, if 1 is considered foundationally superior because it is uniquely prime, then 0 is universally superior because it is indivisible. KDM

*BEST COMMENT*
OK, that's a mighty hard list to argue with! Maybe add one about Ramanujan? ("Every positive integer was a personal friend of his.")
And is there a movie about Paul Erdös? I also think there's very strong movie potential in the story of Évariste Galois; don't know of any being made about him, though.
(I'm a mathematician/physicist who's not much into movies, but I've actually seen two of these five. The Imitation Game, and Hidden Figures.)
Fred
I watched
Gifted *2
Good will hunting *2
Hidden Figures* 2
Never knew about “ The limitations Game” I don’t think I have the stomach to watch it
Those 3 movies are captivating on every level
The man who knew infinity is the best movie based on true story.
Other movies that could be on this list.
The Man who knew infinity.
21.
A Brilliant Mind.
A Brilliant Mind? If you meant A Beautiful Mind, it's #2.
EDIT: ah, I guess you meant A Brilliant Young Mind! Looks pretty good, I'll have to check it out.
It is always incomplete without the Man who knew infinity.
Hidden Figures I just adored AND IM SUPER JEALOUS BECAUSE WE ALWAYS WANT WHAT WE CANT HAVE. WISH I WAS GOOD AT MATH.
Little man Tate was an amazing movie about a nine year old genius. Jodie Foster's directorial debut, I believe.
Where is, Stand and Deliver, starring Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips. 1988, the first math movie that I remember and enjoyed.
Truly a terrific movie. :-)
You get an A+ for remembering Stand and Deliver.
@@moeball740 Anyone who has seen Stand and Deliver remembers Stand and Deliver.
Well I came here to comment for the movie "The Man who knew infinity" but I think the movie has won hearts of audiences all over the world
Lots of love from INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳
They simply MUST make a movie based on the life of Zhang (the Goldbach breaktrhough guy). That might be the greatest maths story ever. The prodigy that never was, who lived amongst the insane and never became insane, who never died of a stupid disease, who lived and worked and loved, who became an old unknown man and who would have died as an unknown man - unless...
Do you mean Yitang "Tom" Zhang? To my knowledge he did not find a breakthrough with regard to the Goldbach conjecture but the twin prime conjecture
That machine the Gal is using is a Comptometer, to uses it you had use two hand and it could only add up or count down (addition and division). Two multiply you had to select the required digits with both hands and repeatedly press all the keys at the same time.
Later style machine had a rotating handle which wound clockwise and anti clockwise to add, subtract, multiply and divide and a shift key. To cut down on how often you had t0 wind the handle there were short cut you could use.
To multiply x 9, you entered the number, would the handle anti clockwise to subtract the number once, then shift left once and wind the number once adding ten times the number to the result. (- 1 times the number, shift and then add 10 tomes the number = 10 -1 = 9). I used one of these in my Cost Accounting Department in the early 1960s
When the the space programme started hand held calculator were available, A HP calculator was used in the capsules sent to the moon for navigation and landing, Comptometers were no longer in use, the operators were one of the best paid jobs in a company and there would be dozens of these operators in one room. The noise created was enough to make you deaf. No Health and safety regulations in that age!
Please add "A man who knew infinity" and "Shakuntala Devi"
The immitation game should be second and The man who knew infinity should be first...💥💥💥
But "The imitation game" has to many errors in it, Turing was not an ADSD case.
@@favesongslist but this movie is in television and "the man who knew infinity " is in real.
But what you're saying can also be so.
Doesn't matter. 😅😅😅

Liked the list. I had already seen most of these movies, and already had plans to see "Hidden Figures", but I just learned about "Gifted" and I'm looking forward to watching it. Thanks
“Plans fail when there is no consultation, But there is accomplishment through many advisers”
"Little Man Tate" has always been my favorite mathematical movie.
You missed "The man who knew Infinity in this list" should be at the Top....
Emdadul Haque what’s it about?
what about the illusionist?
Gifted is the most underrated film here. It is a joy with great performances.
Yeah It is just a great movie, and I want the song at the end to play at my funeral. The scene where her teacher comes out of the bedroom with her Uncle is hysterical .
I love that movie😊
@@davejohn255 - The scene in the maternity waiting room was pure genius. It brought a 67 year old man to tears. And one of the reasons I watched it was because I also loved 500 days of summer so much.
I agree with 3 of them (GWH, Hidden Figures, Beautiful Mind). I'd replace the other 2 with the one everyone else has mentioned, as The Man Who Knew Infinity is not one of my favorite mathematics movies, but movies period. And although it was more about a math teacher and not necessarily a mathematician, I'll finish it up with Stand and Deliver, which was a fucking epic movie in all senses of the word. And like the others (except Good Will Hunting), was based on a true story.
@Daily Dose Of Motivation Yah, Jaime Escalante. Taught a bunch of inner-city LA kids math and they passed a test that I'd wager 97-98% of the populace would fail.
Great list. When I just clicked in, I swear to God I thought to myself, if Good Will Hunting isn't at the top of this list, I'm hacking into your channel.
This video was released in 2020, without “The man who knew infinity”.
Video is without proper research.
It was only a TV series, but Numbers was pretty good and, for the first two seasons, introduced new mathematical concepts and how they could be applied, or were being applied, to human society.
LOVED the Numb3rs TV series! Great idea to use math genius to solve FBI crimes!
i'm watching "scorpion", inspired by walter o'brien. good story line, good (genius) comedy.
haven't seen Hidden Figures and The Man who knew Infinity yet. Definitely going on my Watch List .. Thanks comments section!
I just came here to see all the obligatory comments from people who think they know some other movie that should be included instead of discussing or applauding those that were selected.
Glad you updated. "Stand and Deliver" is missing from this top 5 - IMO, top 3!
I was blown away by the mystic brilliance of the man who knew infinity.... missing
There’s no way “The man who knew infinity” is not in this list. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️
You missed 'Fermat's room'. I always watch it with my students at the end of the year. They love it.
Gifted was such a good movie. It's about love, as opposed to a bunch of self-aggrandizing adults who can claim this brilliant child as THEIRS.
Man who knew infinity didn't just show how ramanujan makes discourses in mathematics and new series which is now revolutionizing string thoery
Universe and also making new startling work on partitions which is humanly impossible
I love your channel and most of the time I agree with you. But I can't believe you didn't include The Man Who Knew Infinity!!!! That guy is prolly the greatest mathematician of 20th century.
The man who knew infinity:Srinivasa ramanujan...🔥🔥..is the best...
And I'm proud to be an INDIAN 🇮🇳😌...
We Indians are the best in MATHS.
Cool down bro.. We all know nowadays Indians are ever proud of Ramanujan. If it ain't the British who made a movie about him Indians wouldn't know shit about his existence. Indians are indeed the best in math, but the worst in unity. They need help of others
@@sachinnandakumar1008 Thats true. But Indians were the first with numerals, the inventors of the '0' (zero), binary numbers and much more. Some say that these numerals come from the Arabs, known as algebra. But they originated from India known as Hindu numerals what even most Indians do not know till this date.
🤦 sorry world 🔆🌼
"The Man Who Knew Infinity: Plus 1" was also a good sequel.
(It sounded good to 5 year old me.)
...and Beyond!
The first one even wrote Q.E.D to end the question!! What a genius.
The original BBC documentary on Ramanujan by Christopher Sykes - "the Man who loved numbers" - was infinitely better than the 2014 movie.
No doubt about it with The Man who know infinity!
The man who knew infinity!!💓💓
