Well, he goes to the ends to claim he's smart and develops all kinds of algorithims to prove his point ... basic algabraic calculations most 6 year olds can make ...so, he isn't really a genius but a buffoon.

Do they do jigsaw puzzles?

In the last scene, Alan claims that he is doing a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle. I have done a 5000 piece puzzle, they're HUGE! At least 4 times as big as the one on the table...

More Story--Less Math

First of all we are introduced to an arrogant adversary of Charlies from he college days--another mathematician. He hovers over the show as Charlie tries to help Don solve a series of murders for profit. These guys are overseen by a couple master of technology, especially when it comes to cell phones The problem is that the plans have been laid in a deceptive way and are very hard to crack. Once again, the human element is the factor most in the way.

Need to Learn How to Pronoune words.

Charlie is supposedly a math genius, but that is only a fictional character. The reality is that we have an actor reading lines from a script written by Hollywood writer of average to below average intelligences and educations.

What has me fired up is the fact that they had Charlie talking about a Fourier Analysis, but he pronounced it furrier, like a person who sell furs.

Trivia
When Charlie is speaking to Larry Fleinhart (roughly eight minutes into the episode) about his relationship with Marshall Penfield, he walks by a chalkboard with a number of equations written on it. Several of these can be clearly seen 8 minutes and 21 seconds into the episode. The lowermost equation, unlike the others, appears to have been included as a joke, as it reads: 1+1=2. Everything else on the chalkboard involves notational formalism related to more complicated mathematics, and this simple arithmetic equation is clearly unrelated.

Goofs
Charlie mispronounces "Fourier" as "furrier." Any mathematician of Charlie's status would know it's pronounced (more approximately) as "Fouri-ay."

Quotes

Charlie Eppes: is six inches.
Marshall Penfield: I bet with you that subject's never come up.
