The Project Mathematics! series of videos is a teaching aid for teachers to help students understand the basics of geometry and trigonometry.The series was developed by Tom M. Apostol and James F. Blinn, both from the California Institute of Technology.
Tom Mike Apostol (/ ə ˈ p ɑː s əl / ə-POSS-əl; [1] August 20, 1923 – May 8, 2016) [2] was an American mathematician and professor at the California Institute of Technology specializing in analytic number theory, best known as the author of widely used mathematical textbooks.
He was a Project Associate at Project Mathematics! at the California Institute of Technology. With co-author Tom Apostol, he won the Paul R. Halmos – Lester R. Ford Award given by the Mathematical Association of America for author excellence, in 2005, 2008, and 2010.
Caltech mathematician Tom M. Apostol joined the Mechanical Universe production staff in order to ensure that the series did not compromise on the quality of the mathematics it presented. Seeing an example of Blinn's computer animation for the first time convinced Apostol that the series could bring mathematics "to life in a way that cannot be ...
