The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets (WP Milne Lecture for Sixth Formers)

Everyone knows that The Simpsons is the most successful show in television history, but few know that its gang of mathematically gifted writers have used the show to explore everything from calculus to geometry, pi to game theory and infinitesimals to infinity. Simon Singh, author of Fermat’s Last Theorem, Big Bang and The Code Book, discusses his latest book and explores the mathematical ideas that have been smuggled into The Simpsons. D’oh!
