"Bad" Mathematics in Movies

2.6k Views Asked by At

There's a website and a companion book to it about bad physics in movies, called "Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics".

Similar issues may exist about mathematics: What are the differences between movie mathematics an real mathematics? What are the misconceptions about the nature of mathematics and mathematicians which may be conveyed to the audience via movies? And so on.

Is there any website, article or book dealing with such issues about mathematics and movies?

Thanks.

Tv Tropes has a page dedicated to bad math in media (not only movies).
