Uncovering The Mathematical Secrets Of The Simpsons And Futurama

An exclusive evening in the company of Al Jean (Executive Producer of The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen (Executive Producer of Futurama)

World-renowned writers Al Jean (The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen (The Simpsons & Futurama) are coming to the UK to present a unique event exploring the serious mathematics hidden within the shows’ comic genius.

Looking ahead to the opening of the new mathematics gallery at the Science Museum, they will reveal how high-level mathematics permeates these iconic TV series. Al and David will be in conversation with Simon Singh, author of The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets, who said: “You may have spent several years watching The Simpsons and Futurama without ever realising that they contain enough mathematics to form an entire university course. That is because many of the writers have advanced degrees in mathematics in addition to their unparalleled senses of humour. Be there or be a regular quadrilateral!”
