在这部新星：数学大谜思纪录片片中,一场神秘数学之旅——这将会是关于数学在数个世纪以来令人惊叹的力量的一次探索。从第一次无线电传输到成功将登陆车送上火星，数学在这一切事物中都至关重要。然而数学究竟为何有这些力量？数学到底是一项发明、还是发现？它到底是人类大脑的产物、还是宇宙自身的语言？“数学大谜思”这期节目将解释数学运算如何在大脑中运作，并且思索为何数学在解码宇宙的科学探索中是如此管用。
NOVA leads viewers on a mathematical mystery tour -- a provocative exploration of math's astonishing power across the centuries. We discover math's signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the prediction and discovery of the Higgs boson and the successful landing of rovers on Mars. But where does math get its power? Astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio, along with a colorful cast of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, follows math from Pythagoras to Einstein and beyond, all leading to the ultimate riddle: Is math an invention or a discovery? Humankind's clever trick or the language of the universe?
