Friday Math Movie - Math Test Anxiety

By Murray Bourne, 27 Jun 2008

This week's movie, Math Test Anxiety is a weird Japanese anime.

The video cleverly captures the nightmare that many students experience in the days before a mathematics test. Note how the stress manifests itself in the student's rejection of his mother's kindness.

Some of this movie is disturbing. It's not pretty or fun.

You have been warned.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
