Time transcripts of Christyy

[00:00:00:00]	[Interviewer] What's your story going to be about today? Well my story

[00:00:04:00]	is about the movie "Beautiful Mind" and how it showed me that math relates to

[00:00:08:00]	really all areas of life and how it's kind of its own language.

[00:00:12:00]	[Interviewer] Go ahead whenever you're ready. Well "Beautiful Mind" is about

[00:00:17:14]	a person who has schizophrenia but he is a math genius and he kind of

[00:00:21:14]	faces his psychological 

[00:00:25:14]	adversaries with his

[00:00:29:14]	mathematical talents and abilities and relates math to sociology

[00:00:33:14]	and how it relates to people

[00:00:37:14]	The movie kind of explores how math branches out to all

[00:00:41:14]	areas of social life and really is more of a 

[00:00:45:14]	language through which you can look at life through a new

[00:00:49:14]	perspective in mathematical terms

[00:00:53:14]	and elements. And anyway, the

[00:00:57:14]	main character uses math

[00:01:01:14]	to solve problems and he actually

[00:01:05:14]	uses math, he breaks up his social circle into

[00:01:09:14]	crazy mathematical equations that

[00:01:13:14]	he just puts together like a puzzle or a poem

[00:01:17:14]	and sort of writes a haiku that allows 

[00:01:21:14]	him to woo his wife into marrying him. So he uses math to

[00:01:25:14]	make himself happy and that's kind of what

[00:01:29:14]	language does. It's a way through which we can express our happiness 

[00:01:33:14]	to everybody. [Interviewer] That's great. So would you say the 

[00:01:37:14]	movie showed you a written language of math

[00:01:41:14]	or a verbal, or kind of a combination of all the different varieties

[00:01:45:14]	of language? You know, it was nice 

[00:01:49:14]	the cinematic qualities. They showed a lot of math

[00:01:53:14]	being written on windows and like white chalk because

[00:01:57:14]	the guys that, you know some ivy league school, and 

[00:02:01:14]	doing fancy math that I just won't ever

[00:02:05:14]	be at because it's insanely difficult and looks like 

[00:02:09:14]	gibberish to me. 'Cuz I can't read his language. He 

[00:02:13:14]	has been studying mathematics, a branch, a language

[00:02:17:14]	it's own discipline for just years and his grasp of it

[00:02:21:14]	is, he is more fluent than I'll ever be in that language so

[00:02:25:14]	his understanding of life through his own 

[00:02:29:14]	mathematical language is just really interesting to watch unfold and how

[00:02:33:14]	even though he has, even though he's crazy or

[00:02:37:14]	has psychological problems and they affect 

[00:02:41:14]	his life, he still uses math to 

[00:02:45:14]	as like a foundation,

[00:02:49:14]	through which he always returns even though

[00:02:53:14]	his psychological problems might

[00:02:57:14]	hinder him and be like a 

[00:03:01:14]	his road to happiness through math. [Interviewer] So did this movie

[00:03:05:15]	change the way that you look at math after seeing all of those revelations of the main

[00:03:09:15]	character? Actually, it really did. It made me look at math

[00:03:13:15]	more as a puzzle

[00:03:17:15]	that you have to 

[00:03:21:15]	like decrypt to understand not just like

[00:03:25:15]	'cuz it's got economical

[00:03:29:15]	functions in daily life, but aside from just the

[00:03:33:15]	you know, those superficial

[00:03:37:15]	things like three dollars in tax or whatever

[00:03:41:15]	it's also its own theoretical branch that

[00:03:45:15]	can kind of help us, guide us

[00:03:49:15]	through life. [Interviewer] That's great. Thank you.
