Free public maths lecture exploring concepts of coincidence, chance and risk.
Is it surprising that many strange and unpredictable things occur daily? Would it not be even more surprising if such events never occurred? With mathematics on our side, we can use chance and risk to our advantage. Examples include: predictions based on sacred texts, using chance as a tool for medical diagnosis, and even gambling on the lottery.
