About this book
Reviews
"In summary, VideoMath Festival is wonderfully entertaining and informative collection. ... This video's wide range of topics, varied levels of mathematical sophistication, and stunning graphics make it a must have for any institution and a welcome addition to any personal video library."
P.D. Shanahan, MAA Online book review column, Nov. 2000
"Among the many outstanding events of ICM '98 ... the VideoMath Festival was perhaps the most innovative. The 20 videos presented on this cassette are winners of a worldwide competition providing an entertaining and very informative look into current research in pure, applied and didactical mathematics. ... This video collection will definitely become a 'bestseller', and it is indeed highly recommended not only for school and university instruction but also for personal use of anyone interested in mathematics."
O. Ninnemann, Zentralblatt für Mathematik 909.1999
"... Wenn Mathematiker manchmal von der Ästhetik ihres Fachgebiets sprechen, schüttelt der Laie meist ungläubig den Kopf. Beim Betrachten dieses Videos können sich aber auch hartgesottene Zweifler der Eleganz der Mathematik nicht entziehen."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 20.1.1999
