Mathematics is the story of the world around us, and the wisdom it contains can be the difference between success and disaster. We do mathematics all the time, from the way we communicate with each other to the way we travel, from how we work to how we relax. Most of us know this. But few of us truly appreciate the full power of mathematics, or the extent to which its influence extends beyond every office and home, to courtrooms and hospital wards. In his stunning and extraordinary book, The Mathematics of Life and Death, mathematician Keith Yates explores the true stories of life-changing events in which the application-or misapplication-of mathematics played a crucial role: patients disabled by faulty genes and businessmen bankrupted by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice and unwitting victims of software glitches. We also learn stories of investors who lost fortunes and parents who lost children, all as a result of mathematical misunderstandings.
