    Stanford University
    Donald Knuth: the Stanford Mathematics and Computer Science Video Lecture
    Series The well-known mathematician and computer scientist Donald Knuth
    inaugurates the Stanford Video Journal series in 1985 with a course entitled
    Problem Seminar that deals with unsolved problems in computer programming.
    This organic, trial and error approach to unsolved problems is an excellent
    example of the advantages that video has over print for the communication of
    the process of doing research in mathematics and computer science. Other
    classic Knuth lectures are available via his Stanford Home Page.


    Duke University
    Duke University Classroom Mathematics Series contains all recorded lectures
    produced in the Duke University Mathematics Department Multimedia Classroom.
    The collection includes videos of the Applied Mathematics and the
    Geometry/Topology Seminars. Of special interest are the:
    String Theory Seminars: Lectures on String Theory from the Center for
    Geometry and Theoretical Physics
    KDI Seminar: Lectures covering the special topic of the study of the intricate
    and little-understood complexities of how liquids flow through porous media
    such as geological formations.


    BBC Films
    Dangerous Knowledge
    In this one-off documentary, David Malone looks at four brilliant mathematicians
    - Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing - whose genius
    has profoundly affected us, but which tragically drove them insane and
    eventually led to them all committing suicide.
