中文摘要
本项目拟制作一部关于数学家张一堂的纪录片,将于2017年5、6月通过美国公共电视联盟(APT)在全国公共电视台播出。《无限数:张一堂与双素数猜想》于2016年1月在剧院首映。它讲述了2013年在解决孪生素数猜想方面取得重大突破的张一堂的故事。在影片中,张在逆境中保持安静的毅力,以及他喜欢独自思考和工作的故事,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与数论中这个极具挑战性的问题作过斗争——丹尼尔·戈德斯顿、坎南·Soundararajan、安德鲁·格兰维尔、彼得·萨尔纳克、恩里科·Bombieri、詹姆斯·梅纳德、尼古拉斯·卡茨、大卫·埃森巴德、肯·里贝特和特里·陶。这部电影由乔治·奇西利(George Csicsery)制作和导演,通过数学思想背后的数学家的人类故事,证明了它在向公众传达数学思想方面非常有效。为准备公共电视播放而对电影进行的修改包括编辑、添加所需的模块、封闭字幕和其他技术工作,以及针对个别电视台节目编导的宣传工作。
英文摘要
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.
