# The Mathematical Mystery Tour Explores the world of pure mathematics and some of the classical problems that elude solution or proof, even after several hundred years. (Fermat's last theorem and the Goldbach conjecture are among two discussed.) Mathematicians explain that new theorems are continually reshaping mathematics, including Gòˆdel's incompleteness theorems that showed an axiomatic system will always be incomplete and thus some statements can never be proved true or false wihout addition of more axioms. Difference of formalists and platonists is investigated. The impact of the computer is briefly examined, including the calculation of Pi to several million places. 1 videocassette (57 min.) : 1/2 in VHS format Writer and producer, Jon Palfreman ; producer for Nova, Susan Simpson Don Wescott - Kind: Film - Year: 1985 - By: Jon Palfreman, Susan Simpson, WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.), British Broadcasting Corporation.
