Donald in Mathmagic Land

Donald Duck learns the importance of mathematics. Sequences show how the basic principles relate to music, art, architecture, sports, and other phases of daily life

Donald Duck enters Mathmagic Land, a "mighty strange" fantasy land with trees with square roots, a stream flowing with numbers, and a walking pencil that plays tic-tac-toe. Donald learns that mathematics applies to nature, architecture, and music, but also to games that are played on geometrical surfaces. Themes of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass are scattered throughout the chess scene.
