Default Re: Numb3rs

Thanks!

This is the link you sent me

"Numb3rs (2005)
A CBS TV series starting its second year, where David Krumholtz plays Charlie Eppes, a "world class" mathematician who helps his brother Don, an FBI agent played by Rob Morrow, solve crimes. There were some nice moments, as when a colleague advises him not to waste his productive years chasing serial criminals, but the math in the premier was pretty lame, mostly the usual equations-on-a-blackboard, but with some clever visualization of a sprinkler. They did work some real mathematical thinking into later episodes but Charlie is a bit too successful predicting the next crime scene from lousy data and way too guilt-ridden when he fails."

Anyone have anything better?
