ANGELiC have released the second episode in the new
documentary series from the BBC, The Code. The Code is a three-part TV
series about maths in the world around us, presented by the Oxford University Maths
lecturer Marcus du Sautoy. Marcus du Sautoy searches for natural
patterns, beginning with the hexagonal columns of Northern Ireland’s
Giant’s Causeway, and moving on to everything from honeycombs to soap
bubbles, claiming such formations are far from random but part of a
hidden code that governs the world. He also applies the theory to
mountains, clouds and trees, and reveals how it could have helped in the
creation of movie animations – with a visit to the Pixar studios – and
abstract paintings
