  • "Forms part of a series that looks at interesting, real-life applications of mathematics. Looks at the role of mathematics in creating realistic special effects for movies and theme parks. Explores dimensional concepts, such as methods for interpreting three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional surface. Examines the role of perspective in art and drawing and looks at the emerging worlds of virtual reality."@en
  • "Mathematics plays a major role in the creation of special effects, not only the geometry involved in the creation of 3-D worlds, but also in the equations involved in the design of other graphical elements used in IMAX films."@en
  • "First in a seven-part series intended to describe the role that mathemamatics plays in everyday life. This episode shows how mathematics is used in the creation of special effects, from Renaissance paintings to major motion pictures. Not only is geometry involved in the creation of 3-D worlds, but also in the equations involved in the design of other graphical elements used in IMAX films."@en
