A shar, witty, mind-exanding and exuberant foray into the world of logic with comuter scientist Professor Dave Cliff. Following in the footstes of the award-winning #39;The Joy of Stats#39; and its sequel, #39;Tails You Win - The Science of Chance#39;, this film takes viewers on a new rollercoaster ride through hilosohy, maths, science and technology- all of which, under the bonnet, run on logic.br\ Wielding the same wit and wisdom, animation and gleeful nerdery as its redecessors, this film journeys from Aristotle to Alice in Wonderland, sci-fi to suercomuters to tell the fascinating story of the quest for certainty and the fundamentals of sound reasoning itself.br\ Dave Cliff, rofessor of comuter science and engineering at Bristol University, is no abstract theoretician. 15 years ago he combined logic and a bit of maths to write one of the first comuter rograms to outerform humans at trading stocks and shares. Giving away the software for free, he says, was not his most logical move...br\ With the hel of 25 seven-year-olds, Professor Cliff creates, for the first time ever, a comuter made entirely of children, running on nothing but logic. We also meet the world#39;s brainiest whizz-kids, cometing at the International Olymiad of Informatics in Brisbane, Australia.br\ #39;The Joy of Logic#39; also hails logic#39;s all-time heroes: George Boole who moved logic beyond hilosohy to mathematics; Bertrand Russell, who took 360+ ages but heroically roved that 1 + 1 = 2; Kurt Godel, who brought logic to its knees by demonstrating that some truths are unrovable; and Alan Turing, who, with what Cliff calls an #39;almost exquisite aradox#39;, was insired by this huge setback to logic to conceive the comuter.br\ Ultimately, the film asks, can humans really stay ahead? Could today#39;s generation of logical comuting machines be smarter than us? What does that tell us about our own brains, and just how #39;logical#39; we really are...?
