Mathematics, Measurement and Money - Professor Norman Biggs
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 29 Ιουν 2016
An overview of Mathematics, Measurement and Money and their evolution over time http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
THE JOINT LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY/ GRESHAM COLLEGE ANNUAL LECTURE
Throughout
its brief history, mathematics has been closely linked with measurement
and money. In the ancient settlements the rules of arithmetic and
geometry were used to solve problems about the allocation of food and
resources. When life became more complex, the use of coined money led to
computational problems that required good algorithms for their
solution.
Nowadays we rely on mathematics for security, and the
links between information and money have become blurred. Can mathematics
keep us safe?
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
Gresham
College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
made available for free download from our website. There are currently
over 1,900 lectures free to access or download from the website.
