Crime drama series. FBI
agent Don Eppes recruits his mathematical-genius brother Charlie to help
the Bureau solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles. The
two brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases from a very
distinctive perspective. Inspired by actual cases, the series depicts
how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected
revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions. A
dedicated FBI agent, Don Eppes, couldn't be more different from his
younger brother, Charlie Eppes, a brilliant mathematician who, since he
was little, yearned to impress his big brother. As a seasoned
investigator, Don deals in hard facts and evidence, whereas Charlie, a
math professor at a California university, functions in a world of
mathematical probability and equations. Now, despite their disparate
approaches to life, Don and Charlie are able to combine their areas of
expertise and solve some killer cases.
The math used in each
episode of NUMB3RS is based on real FBI cases. Mathematics consultants
work with NUMB3RS throughout production to ensure that the math used to
help analyze and solve crimes is real and accurate.
