Friday Math Movie – Math Test Anxiety

27 Jun 2008 · Posted in Math movies, Mathematics 

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.

    Very strange. You did warn me/us though.

    Yeh, Zac – that’s one weird movie.

    I like the funny movies better, but this one expressed the test angst well, as you said.

    This is from the anime series Paranoia Agent by Satoshi Kon. If you see the rest of his work, this isn’t as disturbing as it could be.
