Numbers

Numbers

It exists all around us, on receipts, on displays, in phones, on cards, on currency, in clocks. You use it everywhere, everytime; to count, to measure, to calculate, to tell the time, to compute data, to figure, to tally sales, and estimate profits.

Numbers.

Real, Negative, Positive, Irrational, Natural, Whole, Complex, Imaginary, yea you get the idea.

The show is about numbers. No la, of course got some blood here and there to you know, bling the x factor in.

In simple terms, it's about an FBI agent who has a mathematician as his brother, and math solves crimes.

I know I know, your mind probably shut off when you saw the word math. But this show is good. True that it could get stagnant after a while, due to the various formulas and numerical formats, yet the storyline for each episode is good, and while unlike Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) which is laden with gore and visual stimulants, otherwise known as effects and editing, and which features non-existent techniques, the math in the episodes and its theories and formulas are all authentic. In fact some universities in the United States use this TV series to teach their students about math.

But, don't worry. Even if you know 1 + 1 = 3, you'll still be able to enjoy the show.

Some say the main actor is good looking. Me? I think it's his curly hair.

How bout you go watch it and let me know what you think?
