Did you know that:the Earth tilts at 23 degrees on its axis? (Well it's actually closer to 23.5 and degrees are an arbitrary unit of measurement);2 divided by 3 is 0.666 recurring? (Although if you round it properly it would be 0.667, which is the Devil's next door neighbour); if you rearrange the letters in "The Number Twenty Three" you get "This is all Hogwash"?Isn't numerology incredible?This week we watched Joel Schumacher's 23rd film: "The Number 23", starring Jim Carrey. And we ask, perhaps, the most important question of all - was this film actually a secret sequel to Ace Ventura Pet Detective?We're through the looking glass here people! If you're interested in watching The Number 23 then please recondsider watching Paddington (one or two, they're both good.)

In this episode we watch the movie The Imitation Game. Alongside your regular team of Thomas, Ben and Liz there was only one mathematician with the expertise who could take us through this movie with grace, wit and wisdom. And that mathematician wasn't available so we got Dr James Grimes instead.Join us for episode five of Maths at: The Movies as we separate fact from fiction about the life of Alan Turing.If you're interested in watching The Imitation Game you can follow the Amazon link below.

In the latest Q and A show from The Naked Scientists, we answer your questions with the help of an expert panel - plant scientist Beverley Glover, mathematician James Grime, physicist Jess Wade and Angel investor Peter Cowley. What makes plants carnivorous, what's the highest prime number we know of, and how do WWII coding machines work? Plus, how long would a fidget spinner spin for in space, what's the best way to water a plant, and what happened to Google Glass?

As part of our special Apéry takeover today, I chatted to mathematicians Ben Sparks and James Grime, to find out what we know about the mathematics Apéry did – it's an enjoyable 10-minute listen.
James Grime is a presenter for the well known Numberphile YouTube videos and for the Enigma Project in the UK. After working in research in combinatorics and group theory, James joined the Millennium Mathematics Project from the University of Cambridge. … Continue reading →
Saturday 23 June 2012 marked the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing - mathematical genius, hero of the WWII code breakers of Bletchley Park, and father of modern computing. Alan Turing was a mathematician, cryptographer and pioneer of computer science who possessed one of the greatest brains of the 20th century. His life was one of secret triumphs shadowed by public tragedy. Presented by Dr James Grime, Enigma Project Officer at the University's Millenium Mathematics Project
Ikke bare byr ukas sending på et eksklusivt intervju med James Grime, men i tillegg har vi fått klemt inn litt obligatorisk pjatt om dinosaurer. Hvis du noen gang har lurt på hva som skjer hvis du putter hodet i en partikkelakselerator svarer vi så klart på det også!

To celebrate the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, serial guest James Grime has taken on the arduous task of re-watching the original series to study the mathematics featured on the screen. He joins us for a podcast-only special to tell us all about it, with audio clips of the relevant episodes. We'll talk about cicadas, morphogenesis (or “waves on cows”), deceiving androids from first principles, and the biggest question of them all: does the redshirt always die? If you want to check James' working, he's published a series of posts over at The Aperiodical on the same themes: part I, part II, part III. Please enjoy this photograph of Gödel, which we mention towards the end of the show. Please also enjoy further information on the remarkable Valais goat. The short skirt uniform worn by both men and women in early episodes of The Next Generation is called a skant, and it was occasionally worn with trousers. JIM: Science and medics, those are the blue shirts. HOST: Where do mathematicians go? Scientists? JIM: That's right, yes, science. HOST: You're safe? JIM: Yes, I am, I'm in the blue shirt category. as quoted by Peter Rowlett in What colour shirt do mathematicians wear?
