The three-part documentary "The Code" is much more than a series about the role math plays in our world. It's an interactive game, an engaging treasure hunt that includes hidden clues in each episode as well as an assortment of online games. The goal? To expand participants' understanding of basic principles of math. In the series, Oxford University professor of mathematics Marcus du Sautoy takes a stab at this as well, exploring how the natural world conforms to and can be explained by mathematical codes.

04/10/2019 If they don't start getting the details right this show won't survive. They have hair cuts that aren't regulation, their salutes are terrible, the uniforms are not correct. Many, many other problems. They either have no Marine advisers or they are not listening to them. JAG got the details right it was respectful of the military. If this show doesn't shape up fast it will not make it. See more Read all reviews
