Secrets of Alice in Wonderland

- Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is famous as a story that doesn't make much sense -- unless you know that the author was a mathematician.
This part-performance, part-discussion introduces you to chapters of Alice in Wonderland with mathematical links. Mathematics is an evolving field of ideas now, as it was when Alice in Wonderland was written in the 19th century.
Performed by science communicator Cobi Smith as Alice, with narration by University of Adelaide mathematician David Butler on 16 August 2012.

why is it that every time something very surreal and abstract is made, the creator gets accused of being on drugs ??? Do people not know of creativity ?
Ross Reid, what is the problem of being on drugs? Good they are on drugs! Most people are. Most cultures have their own ones.
I loved this! I think I was originally attracted to the absolute nonsense and randomness of Alice in Wonderland, but once I was older when I read about this I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT! I wish they made another one like this with other examples... although I got an annotated copy of both Alice and «Through the looking glass»
In high school I never understood imaginary numbers.....the way you explained and showed it made perfect sense! Great job.....I hope you're an educator!!
I always thought he was making fun of new math but this makes a little more sense

Thanks. I am still confused but now I know what about at least
His name was Lutwidge, not Ludwig. You're getting confused with Beethoven!
it seems to conjure up all kinds of ideas, said Alice , if only i could understand what they mean ???
loved this! :)
You lost me at Charles Ludwig Dodgson
Mathematics. Lutwidge. Lewis Carroll is twirling in his grave at your misspellings.
