Why Maths Really Matters
All around the world children, and even some adults, ask the question: ‘What is the point of mathematics?’. The field of mathematical modelling not only helps answer this question, it can help quench the human thirst for knowledge.
In this talk, join Chartered Mathematician Nira Chamberlain as he shares the serious, and fun, applications of mathematical modelling.
From the edge of our solar system to battling an artificial intelligence takeover, we will see the point of mathematics after all.
