We all have to live with uncertainty. We attribute good and bad events as ‘due to chance’, label people as ‘lucky’, and (sometimes) admit our ignorance. In this Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture David shows how to use the theory of probability to take apart all these ideas, and demonstrate how you can put numbers on your ignorance, and then measure how good those numbers are.
Congratulations to Ramón who won the prize for his article Mathematical Memory Machines.
The Graham Hoare Prize is awarded by the Institute of Mathematics & its Applications annually to Early Career Mathematicians for a brilliant Mathematics Today article.
BNPA Education (British Paediatric Neurology Association) are running an event in our building in January and they need cloakroom volunteers on 9th and 10th January. They will pay £100 plus travel.
