Hands-On Math Movie:
Wild Animal Veterinarian
Most veterinarians take care of our common pets and livestock: dogs, cats, horses, cows, the occasional sick hamster. Mark Pokras' patient list is more unusual--today he could be treating a fox and an owl, tomorrow it might be a turtle and a deer. See how math and science are fundamental no matter what species of animal you're treating.
Running time 2:28 minutes.
