Sorry again Mericans! BBC4 tonight at 8.00
Beautiful Equations
Artist and critic Matt Collings explores the world of mathematical equations, looking at some of the most famous examples in science, including Einstein's E=mc2 and Newton's laws of gravity. Along the way he meets Stephen Hawking to talk about black holes, looks up at the planets at an observatory in Cambridge, observes a particle of anti-matter, and sees how the concepts of beauty and elegance have been used by scientists to advance their work

Mixed. Some interesting ideas, but rather than looking at complex equations he might have thought about simple algebra as a starting point.. A brilliant quote by Einstein though:-
'The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible'.
