Recordings of Starring Math
with Steven Strogatz and special guests

A Beautiful Mind and Stand and Deliver

These are recordings of live-streamed events that took place in October and November 2021.

Appropriate for ages 13 and up.

A Beautiful Mind
Join Distinguished Visiting Professor Steven Strogatz and special guests Sylvain Cappell (New York University), who had many conversations with John Nash over the years and advised director Ron Howard on the making of the film; Dave Bayer (Columbia University), who was the film's math consultant and the mathematical hand model for Russell Crowe; and Alex Kontorovich (Rutgers University), who worked with Nash near the end of his life, when Kontorovich was an undergraduate at Princeton.

Stand and Deliver
Join Distinguished Visiting Professor Steven Strogatz and special guests Tom Musca, the producer and co-writer of the film, and Tatiana Camacho and Thomas Valdez, former students of Jaime Escalante, for an hour of discussion.  In Stand and Deliver, Math teacher Jaime Escalante comes to an underprivileged high school to find students performing well below their grade levels.  While other, more cynical teachers don't believe the students are capable of improving, Escalante sees potential in them and takes it upon himself to teach them advanced calculus in time for senior year.

Though viewing each film is not required for participation, it is suggested that participants stream the movies independently prior to viewing the recordings.
