The movie “Good Will Hunting” features math problems related to graph theory and linear algebra. Matt Damon portrays the main character, Will Hunting, who is able to solve problems on a blackboard that have been presented as a challenge to an entire linear algebra class. These math questions are interesting for viewers, but none of them are actually unsolved or very difficult in reality. It provides entertainment for the audience while also showing how math can appear in everyday life contexts.
