One of the best films about mathematics in cinema, "The Man Who Knew Infinity" is a documentary about the life and work of German mathematician David Hilbert. The film is directed by Matthew Brown and follows Hilbert's life from his childhood in Königsberg (today known as Kaliningrad, Russia) until his death in 1943. Though Hilbert never knew what transpired with equations that were too difficult for him, he was still very conscious about knowledge and its importance in society. He believed mathematics would change the world but could do nothing without connections and funding. In fact, he turned down a job offer from Princeton University because the university did not have a suitable library to house his collection of books. Hilbert was a friend and colleague of Albert Einstein, who credited Hilbert for helping him find employment at the Swiss Patent Office in 1902 while Einstein worked on a comprehensive unified field theory that would include electromagnetism. In 1915, while Hilbert was working in Gottingen University, he collaborated with Einstein on a unified field theory. But when Einstein published the theory in June 1915, he dedicated it to his friend "without whose language I would never have been able to formulate my ideas". Although Hilbert did not start out as a mathematician, he was still very influential and had a lasting impact on math and science:The film also discusses the famous Hilbert's Hotel in Bad Pyrmont, where many of the mathematicians would meet to discuss ideas. The film states that Hilbert believed mathematics would change the world but could do nothing without connections and funding. The story of David Hilbert is interwoven with that of Marie Sklodowska-Curie (Marie Curie) during her experiments to learn more about radioactivity (nuclear physics). The thing that made Marie Curie a famous scientist was her discovery of polonium and radium, the first person to win a Nobel Prize in two different fields: physics and chemistry. It was also a time when women were discouraged from entering the sciences because many families wanted their daughters to marry and have children, not become scientists. In one scene, Marie Curie is asked what would happen to scientific progress if all the men died from war. She replies she does not know as she has not given it much thought as she doesn't see herself as a specialist in military science. One of the more emotional moments in the film is when Hilbert is told by a member of the Nazi party that the university cannot give him a professorship because of his "Mosaic descent". He later died from tuberculosis without ever receiving a professorship. In conclusion, this is a film that will enlighten you on mathematics and science and how they have changed the world.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5646792/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Knew_Infinity_(film)#Casthttps://www.rottentomatoes. cfa1e77820
