San Francisco Theater to Host Two-Night Film Mathathon
On March 18 and 20, San Francisco's Roxie Theater will screen documentaries about mathematicians by filmmaker George Csicsery in honor of what would have been Paul Erdös's 100th birthday.
The films are Taking the Long View: The Life of Shiing-Shen Chern, Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem, Hard Probems: The Road to the World's Toughest Math Contest, and N is a Number: A Portrait of Paul Erdös.
According to the Roxie's webpage advertising the event:
These films weave the math into deeply human stories about mathematicians and their worlds. Mr. Csicsery will be present IN PERSON for all shows.
The Roxie gives the Mathathon a rating of "N x N."
