How to con people with statistics plus a view of the beauty of maths
Our Chancellor, Pete, returns with a new topic. In this two parter, he will explain how we are all conned by politicians, pressure groups and advertisers through the use of statistics. Pete will show you what fibs to look for and how to see the truth behind the figures.
In the second half, Pete will take a look at the beauty of maths as it exists in the natural world, art, music and philosophy. You’ll see maths for its aesthetic qualities, not just numbers and equations!
“Oh no, not maths”, you may be crying! But fear not, the talk is designed to contain as little actual maths as possible and what there is will be simple to understand.
