The Math(ematica) behind Television's Crime Drama NUMB3RS
Posted: May 24th, 2007, 4:26pm MDT
LBL_TAG_TAGS: math tv numbers nunb3rs [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Viewers of prime time television will likely be quite familiar with police chases, blood-stained bodies, and massive explosions. What they may be less familiar with is a protagonist whose job title is "math professor" and who uses crime investigation techniques that delve deep into mathematical concepts and equations. Nevertheless, that's exactly what viewers are likely to find on the CBS Paramount television crime drama NUMB3RS, which airs at 10 p.m. U.S. Eastern on Fridays. Even before the show first premiered in January 2005, a group of researchers at Wolfram Research has been part of the core group of advisers who assist with all aspects of the the mathematics in the show. NUMB3RS remains one of the most popular programs on television, and its co-creators Nick Falacci and Cheryl Heuton have been the recipients of a number of prestigious awards for science communication to a general audience. Most recently, Nick and Cheryl were honored with a Public Service Award from the National Science Board, presented at the U.S. State Department diplomatic reception rooms in Washington, DC on May 14. We at Wolfram Research count ourselves fortunate to be primary consultants for NUMB3RS, and more fortunate still to have been invited by Cheryl to attend and take part in the award presentation.
