From BBC:
On Start the Week Lisa Jardine discusses how complex maths has broken free of the
laboratory and now influences every aspect of our lives. James Owen Weatherall applauds
the take-over of the financial world by physicists, Marcus du Sautoy revels in the
numbers and Kenneth Cukier explores how big data will change everything from disease
control to bargain buys. But the cultural commentator Tiffany Jenkins sounds a note
of caution about a world where everything is measurable.
