'''"Review Of NOVA Program The Great Math Mystery"''' is a review by [[Harry Hamlin Ricker]] published on 3 May 2019 on ''Beyond Mainstream''.

The PBS programme asks whether mathematics is a human invention or the discovered language of the universe. Ricker holds that there is no real question &mdash; mathematics is plainly a human invention &mdash; and asks instead why the question is being posed at all. His answer is that the establishment is promoting the idea that the universe consists of mathematics, a position he traces to the cult of Pythagoras and regards as elevating mathematics, and those who control it, to the status of a deity.
