Oh god, that dumbass math. This is almost as bad as when characters in a movie are playing Mario Kart or some shit and it sounds like an arcade shoot-em-up. Consistency, people.
the math in this movie is embarassing. i always lol at how will hands in calculus proofs to questions about graph theory and the professors are like, 'hmm, very interesting' instead of 'the fuck is this shit?'.
Perrickan, anyone who thinks math is fun is mentally unstable. Math is not meant to be fun, and greatly succeeds at that for people who are of normal mental capacity.
@peanutbuttercrunc100 This is a joke right? I guess you don't find any sort of learning fun at all? The quest for knowledge or deeper insight eludes you and that's really sad.

All of you listen up. Matt Damon was never particularly good at math in school (he was my neighbor). You do *not* have to be good at anything beyond Pre-Calculus to get into Harvard. Matt certainly didn't major in a quantitative subject, in fact (judging by the math in this film) I'd say he never took anything beyond AM 107.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
P.S. This movie is based on people both Matt and I know (no they never got a dime). Matt get's an Oscar for the incalculable creativity involved in imagining that someone from Boston could be smart. Bravo you f-cking cheat.
Why does Professor Lambeau rub his hair? Doesn't he know Will is borderline pyscho? I mean, he did hit a cop and beat the shit out of some greasball kid. He could've gotten a knuckle sandwich for that gesture. Or he could've gotten shot by his jealous gay-assistant.
lol good points to consider, maybe he was just so elated with joy because he got to solve a math problem in tandem with a genius that far supersedes any of his relevant capabilities...so through this gesture he is showing his satisfaction with his own mathematical capabilities while matt damon's character is thinking, "i did this problem in my sleep last night"...notice the look on will's face at 0:42. its like"wtf are u so excited about you simpleton?"
On another note, user milfballs gives an explanation to what I'm trying to state with simple mathematics quite well. Read what he says thoroughly and I'll still be here if you need that boost of understanding (:
You see, jy9626, there is a tool in mathematics known as "simplification." It's not too hard of a concept to grasp (I hope). If you have 4 apples and you take away 2 apples, you lost half your apples, or 1 / 2. However, the ratio is still the same. You lost 1/2 of your apples, meaning::
1 / 2 = 2 / 4.
Do you know what equality means? Left side has to be the same as the right side (Remember this stuff)?
I pointed out how they forgot to cancel the exponents on the chalk board.
BTW, you dumbass, there have been several people who recognized that mistake. Just scroll down and see for yourself. Are you this much bored? Why are you doing this to ME? I'm not the only one saying it. Will you please shut the f up? You sound like a prick just as your nickname sorta suggests.
Please man, I told you I didn't want to embarrass you, just stop talking out of your ass and learn to stop being so ignorant. Here is the holy grail, the answers to all your questions about this video, without any further interruption:
Will did not make a mathematical error. He is more brilliant than the professor. Thing is, he doesn't care about math as long as the answer is correct (There's an emotional scene later on that the professor realizes he's not smart enough)
GET SOME LIFE REALLY. GO OUT, READ BOOKS and MEET PEOPLE. Everybody makes small mistakes!
MATT DAMON TOO can make MISTAKES. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FICTIONAL CHARACTER WILL!
Of course WILL is brilliant. But the thing is that it's MATT DAMON who's playing the role of WILL. Don't you see this? Do you think it was not all acting, but some reality show thing? learn to differentiate between life and movies, ARE YOU MENTAL?
Yes, I should have realized it much clearly earlier. You're just a nerdy kid. (Elementary or middle school, i suppose?)
I'm sorry but I'm in college.
"Rage so hard"? What are you talking about? It was you who has gone mad and wrote all the long pointless comments, when we (all other ppl who commented) sat back in indifference and just pointed out how they made a small mistake, when they were supposedly super smart within the film.
Really kid though, what the fuck was wrong with you?
i did. matt damon dropped out of harvard (graduating from harvard is not particularly hard, but getting into harvard is extremely difficult and requires excellent secondary school grades. so obviously he should know basic maths.) I was just commenting on something in the scene which i find odd.
What's your point? If you don't have one, why don't you shut up?
Why are you getting upset about something you fail to understand? Well my point is (I apologize if this embarrasses you any further) is that everything in that scene was filmed for a reason. Why would an audience question the mathematics involved? Will, the person Matt Damon plays, is undeniably exceptional in mathematics. He didn't make a mistake with his calculations. It was filmed as a joke, hence they laughed afterwards.
What they were just doing was very easy. The only thing I thought was intriguing was the right brain thought process. The visual imagery involved with the math.
Come one. Duh, Cancel out some shit and some more shit and you have simple shit!
@ArabicPilot how do you know those are objects which obey the standard rules of exponentiation and fractions?
i admit it would be silly to design a notation so misleading, but there's no reason to think those are numbers they're cancelling, especially with that graph on the left
Well at least they are only pretending. Although, I have to say I have watched this movie quite a few times lately as it was on TV alot and Stellan is very sexy as a DORK or NERD!!!
