Cube (1997) – Six people, including Leaven, a math student, awake in a deathtrap based on mathematical principles. Fermat's Room (2007) – Three mathematicians and one inventor are invited to a house under the premise of solving a great enigma and told to use pseudonyms based on famous historical mathematicians. At the house, they are ...
The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions. More specifically, the Millennium Prize version of the conjecture is that, if the elliptic curve E has rank r, then the L-function L(E, s) associated with it vanishes to order r at s = 1.
To show mathematics realistically on the screen, Anna Novion worked with French mathematician Ariane Mézard, who provided all the equations written by the characters in the film, so that they are all authentic. Moreover, Mézard even made real progress on Goldbach's conjecture, the goal of Marguerite's work, for the film. [6]
[2] [3] While written in a whimsical tone [5] and using nerdy jokes, [6] the lyrics contain sophisticated mathematical content and mention the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture. In the words of mathematician Arthur Jaffe , "the characters think about mathematics just the way a real mathematician would". [ 7 ]
Some cited mathematical concepts are Sophie Germain primes, taxicab numbers, abstract algebra, differential equations. Around minute 31 the protagonist cites by heart the number 92305 × 2 16998 + 1 {\displaystyle 92305\times 2^{16998}+1} , saying that it is the largest known Germain prime.

In a 2009 NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 8 in 10 Americans said they were concerned about the federal deficit and growing national debt. But a separate poll that same year asked, "How many millions ...
