10. GILES REVIEWS PROOF
A review of the Miramax film, Proof, by Central College mathematics
professor Jacqueline Brannon Giles, is featured in the November issue
of FOCUS magazine (Vol. 5, No. 8), a publication of the Mathematical
Association of America. Based on David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize winning
play, the film is the story of a distinguished mathematics professor falling
into dementia and his equally gifted daughter. Giles' review is one of three
by mathematicians from around the country; she is a member of the
FOCUS editorial board.
