Documentaries I've seen and recommend.

Note: i've linked all documentary films to the information pages at both MVGroup and docuwiki. MVGroup is a torrent site and requires a free login. Both sites serve nothing but documentaries and are excellent sources for "what should we watch tonite".

The Story of Math, p1-4
mvgroup docuwiki

The story of Math takes you into the history of math, but focuses not on what most westerners think of as the History of math (Greeks then Germans then modern maths), but emphasizes cultures like the Chinese, the Phoenicians, the Egyptians and the Indians who were all doing things with math that would take 100's of years for Western Culture to "invent". Excellent for people who use math with some regularity, but intriguing for anyone who sat through a calculous class mumbling about "who the hell invented this torture?"

The first 3 are fairly basic, but the fourth film gets into areas of infinity, and modern non-dimensional math that is pretty much "huh?" most of the film.
