NUMB3RS
We
have been consultants for the hit television crime drama Numb3rs
on CBS.
For instance, on January 20, 2005 and shortly thereafter, we suggested
that Numb3rs work with the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics
to create homework assignments related to the mathematical and
scientific topics discussed in each episode. Such a program was
created in late September 2005.
