The BBC has “The Story of Maths.” Apart from that there isn’t much and as well to learning the history of maths and a basic understanding into most topics, I want to get a better understanding of maths.

My all-time favorite is “School House Rock” http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/ They have a great video on multiplication called “Multiplication Rock.” The videos teach with music and while targeted toward children, anyone can learn from them & enjoy the catchy tunes & 1970’s grooviness – smiles!

You can still buy the DVDs and I’m sure you can see at least some of them on youtube.
I have resisted mentioning this, but since the opportunity presents itself, I have a math Web site at high school level at Mathed.org
Not really a show about math, but amazing none the less
