パンサー尾形貴弘が数学の難問を大真面目に解説する「笑わない数学」。今回は「カオス理論」。数学で未来を予測することはできるのか？天才たちがたどり着いた結論とは。
かつて数学者はこんな確信を持っていた。数式を使えば未来を予測できる、と。たしかに天体の動きや、投げたボールの軌道は予測できるように思えた。しかし１９世紀末以降、その信念をくつがえす事実が次々に発見され、世の中の多くは予測不可能だということが、数学的に明らかにされていった。わずかな誤差が急激に膨れ上がり、結果が予測不能になる「カオス」。サッカーのシュートに隠された「カオス」の謎にも迫る。
Panther Takahiro Ogata explains difficult mathematical problems in a very serious manner in "Math without Laughing". This time it is "Chaos Theory." Can mathematics predict the future? What is the conclusion that geniuses have reached? In the past, mathematicians were convinced that it was possible to predict the future using mathematical formulas. They believed that mathematical formulas could predict the future. Indeed, it seemed possible to predict the movement of celestial bodies and the trajectory of a thrown ball. However, since the end of the 19th century, facts have been discovered one after another that have overturned this belief, and it has become mathematically clear that much of the world is unpredictable. Chaos," in which the smallest error can rapidly escalate to unpredictable results. This film also explores the mystery of the "chaos" hidden in a soccer shot.
