The University of Cambridge's Millennium Mathematics Project is
delighted to be hosting the UK premiere of acclaimed indie film
'Travelling Salesman'.
'Travelling Salesman' (http://www.travellingsalesmanmovie.com/) is an
intellectual thriller with a mathematical background. Four brilliant
mathematicians solve the P vs NP problem, with profound implications for
computer science and cryptography. Offered $10 million dollars by the US
government for exclusive access to the solution, they must grapple with
the practical and moral repercussions of discovering a proof that P = NP.
This is the first time that 'Travelling Salesman', which is not yet on
general release, has been shown in the UK. The screening will be
prefaced by a short introductory talk by Professor Jonathan Oppenheim
(UCL), and will be followed by a live Q&A session with the
writer/director, Timothy Lanzone.
A small number of tickets (£7.50 each) are still available for the
screening, which takes place at 6.30pm on Tuesday 20 November at the
Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge.
