Cafe Scientifique: Maths in the weirdest places March 20, 2007

Speaker: Paul Stevenson (University of Surrey)
http://personal.ph.surrey.ac.uk/~phs3ps/

Are the sorts of equations which make the news every now and then helpful in portraying maths and science in a favourable light, and what do they say about our numeracy?
Paul will be talking about the use of maths in describing everyday things, such as how to walk in high-heels, eat with chopsticks, choose the perfect beach or park a car.
