Blueprints are made up of highly-specialized notations that tell builders, machinists, electricians, engineers, and others exactly how items are assembled and what materials to use. Because they are needed to coordinate work across a wide spectrum of trades, learning to interpret these specifications is crucial. From a blueprint’s basic elements to the distinct features of construction, electrical, manufacturing, and machining blueprints, this program gives viewers a detailed primer on types of blueprints and how they are read. Students will see graphics that illustrate what is meant by basic, auxiliary, and sectional views; discover how CAD is used to create blueprints; and learn which career fields benefit most from blueprint training programs.

Until recently geometry was incapable of describing the irregular shape of a cloud, the slope of a mountain, or the beauty of the human body. With fractal geometry, however, Benoit Mandelbrot introduced a language able to describe our natural world. In this captivating documentary, he explains this groundbreaking discovery. When his thesis “The Fractal Geometry of Nature” was published, his mathematical language was quickly adopted. Fractals are now used in medical imaging and hold the promise for building better roads and safer ships. “After reading that book you don’t see the clouds as you saw them before,” says fellow mathematician Peitgen. Punctuated by stunning images and a beautiful soundtrack, Clouds Are Not Spheres is sure to have the same effect.
