Abstract: Computer animation gives to filmmaking the advantages of computing, i.e., only one cycle of a repetitive action need be programed; one program generates a whole family of films; and successful programs build into a library for subsequent use. Moreover, the scientist can now communicate directly through the film medium in his “natural” language of mathematics. This suggests the possibility of more imaginative educational films. It is recognized that computer animation has certain limitations. For example, cartooning by computer would probably be unprofitable. Four computer-made films which illustrate these points are available on loan.
