NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "The Art of Reckoning" - Spies Like Us
In "The Art of Reckoning," Charlie discusses the security of a prison. "It's a hyper-secure system, but prisoners have nothing to do except think about how to crack it. Like two opposing armies."

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Longshot" - Not So Great Expectations
In "Longshot," Charlie explains that the racetrack uses a pari-mutual betting system - the odds of winning vary with the amount bet on each horse. This system not only calculates proportional payoffs for the bettors, but also guarantees a profit for the racetrack owners by removing a percentage o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--longshot--not-so-great-expectations
Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem using Transformations
