数字追凶 第五季 (2008)

本剧集由于剧情特殊，所以在 2007 年赢得美国全国科学委员会公共服务奖。这部剧集邀请了好几位数学家来担任顾问，以确保主角在影集中用来抽丝剥茧侦办罪案的数学理论正确无误。专家表示在剧集中出现的理论、数学题目和方程式可轻易的被应用在现实生活中。

NUMB3RS将会通过真实的事例，反映数学理论是如何被应用到警方的调查之中，从而破解一件件匪夷所思的罪案。

Rob Morrow stars as FBI agent Don Eppes, who recruits his mathematical genius brother, Charlie (David Krumholtz), to help the Bureau solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles. From two very different perspectives, the brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases, aided by Don's partner, Terry Lake (Sabrina Lloyd), and new FBI recruit David Sinclair (Alimi Ballard). Although their father, Alan (Judd Hirsch), is pleased to see his sons working together, he fears their competitive nature will lead to trouble. Charlie's colleague, physicist Dr. Larry Fleinhardt (Peter MacNicol), urges Charlie to focus more on his university studies than on FBI business. Inspired by actual events, NUMB3RS depicts how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions.
