I saw it, it was great until I saw the story of maths, watch that. Also this is a bit wrong and playing to the gallery. Boltzmann didnt die because of his work, cantor didnt go mad because of studying infinities.

Is that the one that was presented by Marcus du Sautoy? I've seen that one.

Yeah, I've also felt that they had dramatized it a bit.
