Travelling Salesman (2012)

Traveling Salesman is a 2012 American independent science fiction thriller film directed by director Timothy Lanzone. In the movie, three mathematicians discover an algorithm that solves the famous P=NP problem. However, the solution will have a huge impact on people in different segments of society, and mathematicians must consider what the consequences will be before making a decision.

The film is based on mathematical concepts, computer science, and philosophical discussions. It also touches on many cultural and social issues. "Traveling Salesman" had its world premiere at the 2012 Santa Barbara International Film Festival and was subsequently screened at various film festivals.

The plot of the movie tells the story of three scientists working to solve a long-debated mathematical problem among mathematicians called "P vs NP". The solution to this problem could increase the computational power of computers, which could be of great benefit in many fields.

The main characters of the film are young mathematician Ryan (Matthew Broderick), his student Agent Shultz (Tuppence Middleton), who has won many international math competitions, and his friend Cezary (Maximilian Schell), who is an expert in computer programming. Three scientists develop an algorithm that includes the solution of the "P vs NP" problem and decide to present it at a conference of international mathematicians.

However, they receive warnings about the potential dangers of the algorithm and decide to destroy the algorithm before the presentation. However, they learn that the algorithm has been lost and someone else has captured this dangerous information. Now they must race against time to destroy the algorithm or stop scientists around the world.

• Traveling Salesman is a thriller involving mathematical concepts and scientific intrigues.
• The 2012 movie Traveling Salesman is a thriller about solving a mathematical problem. The film focuses on a mathematical problem known as "P vs. NP", whose solution has not yet been found.
• The director of the movie, Timothy Lanzone, dealt with a real mathematical problem while shooting the movie and shaped the editing of the movie according to this problem. Also, most of the filming took place in a real mathematical community.
• Danny Alejo, one of the film's actors, was also a mathematical genius in real life and had a PhD in mathematics at MIT. Also, one of the movie's other actors, John F. Henry II, is a real mathematics professor and works at Carnegie Mellon University.
• The Traveling Salesman movie has been popular with mathematicians and science fiction fans. In addition, the movie deals with the use of math problems in daily life.
