A Disappearing Number, an award winning play written by Simon McBurney, presents an alternate view towards mathematics. It leads the audiences to imagine and to think beyond our conventional understanding of mathematics. It is not just about arithmetic, but also a philosophy of life. What is
? There is no gap in infinity, so as time. There is no gap between Past-Present-Future. Partition (in mathematical term) can be infinite. Past-Present-Future are interrelated and interwoven, to form a complex pattern of time and memories, which we tend to simplify it as a linear line.Mathematics is something more than numbers.
A brilliant play.
