The folks at Pixar are widely known as some of the world's best storytellers and animators. They are perhaps less recognized as some of the most innovative math whizzes around. I loved this TED Talk by Pixar Research Lead Tony DeRose which delves into the math behind the animations, explaining how arithmetic, trigonometry and geometry help bring Sheriff Woody and the rest of your favorite characters to life.
Just a shame computer animation doesn't appear in the SQA Lifeskills Maths Course!
Whats you favorite Maths video (under ten minutes) that is guaranteed to get kids excited about Maths?
