SUMMARY:Skeptics Maths - Maths and the Media - an equation for confusion
DTSTART:20091014T200000Z
DTEND:20091014T220000Z
DESCRIPTION:Mathematicians seem resigned to constantly seeing mathemat
 ics being mis-used in the media. Most obviously\, there are the stupid
  equations that newspapers seem to love\, including the Sun's brillian
 t formula that had Britney Spears' breasts as the subject. But there a
 re also the more serious cases of misleading mathematics that confuse 
 people and potentially put their health at risk. Matt Parker will take
  a look at the best and the worst of media mathematics and  see if the
 re is\nanything that irate Mathematicians can do about it.
