We all have favourite movie characters, but who is your favourite fictional mathematician?
It is quite difficult to compile a list of fictional mathematicians, but at Plus we have given it a go. Scientists are often portrayed in films — usually as mad — but there are very few who are specialised mathematicians. We think we have come up with a list that covers most well-known fictional mathematicians, although it is debatable whether some are even mathematicians at all! We are asking for your opinion — who is your favourite?
