Description: Cartoon fantasy, featuring Donald Duck, develops the concept that mathematics exists everywhere - in design, games, music, architecture, etc., by examples ranging from Pythagoras to a billiard game., Uses cartoon characters to illustrate the mathematical basis of music, architecture, sculpture, and painting. Donald Duck visits Mathmagic Land where the Spirit of Adventure conducts him on a tour. First is seen Ancient Greece where Pythagoras, father of mathematics and music, discovers mathematical ratios in the musical scale. Donald's other trips emphasize the mathematical relationships in forms in nature, games, and art. Scientific progress is shown to be based upon mathematical concepts, and future achievements must also be developed by those with training in mathematics.
