Alice in Wonderland and math

Tomorrow March 5th, Alice in wonderland, the latest Tim Burton movie, is going to be open at Colombian theaters. This is the second part of the movie adaptation of the book originally named Alice´s adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll was a very important mathematician in XIX century. He wrote novels and also mathematics books but the most cultural representative book, which has been translated to several languages, is Alice in Wonderland.

By reading this book carefully you are going to find some notions of speed and neighborhood, which are very rich math concepts adapted to a children book.

Watch the movie and try to read the book you are going to enjoy them for sure.
