Professor David Hand, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College London, speaks on the subject of his book, The Improbability Principle, about why incredibly unlikely things keep happening...Show More
3) Systemic risk: a challenge for mathematical modelling
Professor Rama Cont discusses how mathematical modelling can provide insights on systemic risk, financial regulation and financial stability.
4) Randomness, dynamics and risk
Professor Damiano Brigo (Mathematics) answers the question: What is randomness, and how can we measure and model it with probability? In this his inaugural lecture.
5) Partial differential equations: A journey from micro to macro
What links gas molecules, charged particles, bacteria and fish? Hear how partial differential equations help us understand their collective behaviour.
6) Eric Yeatman: Putting intelligence into future cities
Professor Eric Yeatman of Imperial College looks ahead 20 years to how micro technologies can increase the intelligence of systems in digital economies.

10) Fight the power laws
Weโre very good at spotting patterns in data, but applying simple mathematical models isn't always useful, argues Professor Michael Stumpf. (Extract 3 of 4 from the Imperial College Podcast 21 March 2...Show More
