Filmmaking as an Essential Tool in Math Pedagogy (B. Janzen, DMV Mathart 2021)

Math is an abstract discipline, and therefore it offers a bigger challenge to communicate to an audience. Beyond the concepts themselves being abstract, the surrounding structure that imbues them with life such as the personal relevance or broad application of an idea or the aesthetic quality it holds can also appear complex or ephemeral. Too often the life behind ideas is ignored, and the curriculum dissolves into a series of rote, passive empirical components. I see a filmmaker’s ability to engage and communicate to an audience on a deeper level as being an essential tool in conveying these concepts as well as supplying them with a rich context. In my short film Bugbottle, I took on the challenge of depicting the construction of a Klein bottle, a crosscap, and a Boy’s surface in a way that would engage a novice audience. In creating this film, I had to rely heavily on my experience as an animator and filmmaker to connect with the viewer and lead them through the deconstruction of a seemingly impossible predicament to understand the world beyond our immediate experience. -- Talk by Beau Janzen (Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Games + Animation) Web: https://www.gnomon.edu/about/instruct... -- Talk given at: Minisymposium "Mathematics and Arts" at the annual meeting of the German Mathematical Society, 27 September - 1 October 2021 (https://ms-math-computer.science/proj...)
