Uncover the mysterious code that underpins the world in a new three-part BBC TV series co-produced by The Open University, beginning tonight (July 27).
Presented by Professor Marcus Du Sautoy, The Code takes us on a journey revealing the mysterious symbols and bizarre numbers which pop up in the most unlikely places again and again - almost as if they have been placed there as clues.
What do they mean, why are they here and what can we learn from them?
Professor Du Sautoy takes us on an odyssey to some of the most stunning locations on the planet and you can join the treasure hunt by checking out the OpenLearn pages where you will find hints and tips for cracking online codes from OU maths academics as well as a mathematically enhanced version of one of The Code online games.
The Code, BBC2, 9PM, Weds, July 27.
