Good Will Hunting
A 1997 American drama film directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. It follows Will, a young man with exceptional mathematical talent, as counseling and relationships reshape his life.
In 1939, American mathematician George Dantzig arrived late to class, saw two problems on the blackboard, and solved them thinking they were homework. His professor was stunned—they were actually unsolved problems in statistics. This story later inspired the film 'Good Will Hunting.'
