Have you always hated maths? It could have been amusing had they not gained such an important place in today’s society : Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, all these companies’ operations are based on algorithms and mathematical formulas. So how did maths become so unpopular even as they have come to rule the world? Through a journey to the four corners of the Earth with some of the world’s greatest mathematicians, Cédric Villani, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon and Robert Bryant, this film reveals the huge impact maths have had on the world, for better… and sometimes for worse.
