Syndication of an one-hour documentary about mathematicians: Counting from Infinity via American Public Television

该项目包括准备一部关于数学家张一堂的纪录片，通过美国公共电视联合会（APT）于2017年5月和6月在公共电视上播出。《Counting from Infinity：Yitang Zhang and the Twin Prime Conjecture》于2016年1月首映。它讲述了张一堂的故事，他在2013年对解决孪生素数猜想取得了重要突破。在这部电影中，张艺谋在逆境中默默坚持的故事，以及他对孤独思考和工作的偏好，与几位数学家讲述的孪生素数猜想的历史交织在一起，他们中的许多人都曾在数论中与这个极具挑战性的问题搏斗-丹尼尔戈德斯通，Kannan Soundararajan，Andrew Granville，Peter Sarnak，Enrico Benneri，James Maynard，Nicholas Katz，大卫Eisenbud，Ken Ribet和Terry Tao这部电影由乔治·西切里（George Csicsery）制作和导演，通过数学家们的故事将数学思想传达给公众。为准备在公共电视台播出而对电影进行的修改包括编辑、添加必要的模块、隐藏字幕和其他技术工作，以及针对个别电视台节目制作人的宣传工作。

This project involves the preparation of a documentary film about mathematician Yitang Zhang for national broadcast on public television via American Public Television syndication (APT) in May, June of 2017. Counting from Infinity: Yitang Zhang and the Twin Prime Conjecture premiered theatrically in January 2016. It tells the story of Yitang Zhang, who made an important breakthrough towards solving the Twin Prime Conjecture in 2013. In the film, the story of Zhang's quiet perseverance amidst adversity, and his preference for thinking and working in solitude, is interwoven with a history of the Twin Prime Conjecture as told by several mathematicians, many of whom have wrestled with this enormously challenging problem in Number Theory - Daniel Goldston, Kannan Soundararajan, Andrew Granville, Peter Sarnak, Enrico Bombieri, James Maynard, Nicholas Katz, David Eisenbud, Ken Ribet, and Terry Tao. The film was produced and directed by George Csicsery, and has proven highly effective at conveying mathematical ideas to the general public through the human stories of the mathematicians behind the ideas.Modification of the film in preparation for public television broadcast involves editing, adding required modules, closed captioning, and other technical work, as well as promotional efforts aimed at individual station programmers.
