If you have ever wondered how mathematicians and mathematics have shaped the world we live in, this is the app for you. The Minds of Modern Mathematics takes you on an interactive journey that spans nearly 1,000 years. It tells the story of mathematics and how it has impacted almost every aspect of human progress, from science to music, art, architecture, and culture.

Free for the iPad, this app is a digital recreation of a 50-foot-wide wall installation that was part of the groundbreaking 1961 Mathematica exhibition sponsored by IBM and designed by the legendary design team, Charles and Ray Eames.

BGfL will be featuring an app each week which can expand the teaching and learning experience. We want to provide guidance on the use of mobile apps and touch technology - so as well as the use of iPhone/iPad apps, we are keen to share Android apps available for you to use.

If you have an app that you wish to recommend, then let us know.
