A Comedy about Math
“Anyone can be a mathematician, you just have to do math.”
Émilie du Châtelet was an 18th century French mathematician and physicist who advanced mathematical understanding of the universe. Her best friend (and on-again, off-again boyfriend) was Voltaire, France’s most famous writer and poet. This fan fiction musical is an enlightening romp through principles and history of math, exploring the degrees of an integral friendship from every angle. This original production fills the shoes of our previous (and now retired) hit Calculus: The Musical! with a similar comedic aesthetic but content that is accessible to math scholars at every high school level and up.
Runtime: 60 minutes
Recommended audience: middle school, high school, college, adult
Émilie's Dramatic Sarcastic Mathematics Playlist is an original production of Matheatre, creators of Curie Me Away!, Nikola Tesla and the Mother of Invention, Voyagers and Calculus: The Musical!
