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」。テーマは「結び目理論」。この宇宙の創造主は数学を知っている？ワクワクする数学ミステリー！
「結び目理論」とは「ひも」にできた結び目を分類する数学の一分野。様々な結び目をひもを切らずに変形していく場合、どうやっても一致させられない結び目は何種類あるのか？ 数学者が頭の中で考え出した遊びのような研究は２０世紀に大発展を遂げる。ところがその理論が宇宙法則と関係していたという意外な事実が！ 数学は数学者の「発明」か？それとも人類とは無関係に宇宙に存在し、それを数学者が「発見」しただけなのか？
"Mathematics without laughing" in which Takahiro Ogata explains the difficult problems of mathematics seriously. The theme is “Knot Theory”. Does the Creator of the Universe know mathematics? What an exciting mathematical mystery!
"Knot theory" is a field of mathematics that categorizes knots made of "strings". How many types of knots cannot be matched in any way if they are deformed without cutting the strings? Research like play that mathematicians have come up with in their minds has made great strides in the 20th century. However, there is an unexpected fact that the theory was related to the laws of the universe! Is mathematics the “invention” of mathematicians? Or did it exist in the universe independently of humanity, and was it only discovered by mathematicians?
