Project MATHEMATICS! produces videotape-and-workbook modules that explore basic topics in high school mathematics in ways that
cannot be done at the chalkboard or in a textbook. The tapes use live action, music, special effects, and imaginative computer animation.
They are distributed on a nonprofit basis.
The goal of the project is to attract young people to mathematics through high-quality instructional modules that show mathematics to be
understandable, exciting, and eminently worthwhile. Each module consists of a videotape together with a workbook, and explores a basic
topic in mathematics that can be easily integrated into any existing high school or community college curriculum. The modules are crafted to
encourage interaction between students and teachers.
More than 9 million students have seen one or more of the videotapes. They have been enthusiastically received by teachers and students
nationwide and have captured first-place honors at eleven major film and video festivals.
Project modules were produced by Tom M. Apostol, James F. Blinn, and Joe Corrigan at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,
CA.
