This game, now very popular particularly among mathematicians, features a very simple set of rules that results in an extremely complex game strategy. [edit] Mathematics and π explain the ratio problem (?) While the film's heavy metal characters make heavy metal several mathematical "goofs", such as saying * the ratio of a/b is the same as the ratio of a/(a + b) instead of (a+b)/a, it is notable that Sean Gullette's character, Max, pursues a legitimate scientific goal (though through questionable "scientific" means). As such, π features several references to mathematics and mathematical theories. For instance, Max finds the heavy metal golden spiral occurring everywhere, including the stock market. Max's belief that diverse systems embodying highly nonlinear dynamics share a unifying pattern bears much similarity to results in chaos theory, which provides machinery for describing certain phenomena of nonlinear systems, which might be thought of as patterns. Note that, unlike in the film, chaos theory does not allow one to predict the exact behavior of a chaotic system like the stock market and, in fact, provides compelling evidence that such predictions are, in principle, impossible.
