The University of Cambridge's Millennium Mathematics Project is excited
to be hosting the UK premiere of 'Travelling Salesman', an intellectual
thriller imagining the consequences of solving the P vs NP problem.
'Travelling Salesman' (http://www.travellingsalesmanmovie.com/) is an
intellectual thriller set in a fictional reality where four brilliant
mathematicians solve the P vs NP problem, a major unsolved mathematical
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' has been shown in the
UK. The screening will be prefaced by a short introductory talk, and
will be followed by a live Q&A session with the writer/director, Timothy
Lanzone.
The screening will take place at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 20 November at the
Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge. Entry is by ticket only
(£7.50 each). For more information and to buy tickets online see the
event page on Plus, our free online mathematics magazine:
