Yet more proof (if proof were needed!) that maths is the key to everything, from the Guardian newspaper today.
The Guardian’s Aditya Chakrabortty reports on the recent findings of New York University professor Bruce Bueno de Mesquita.
de Mesquita’s new book Predictioneer looks at the likelihood of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, and of the Copenhagen climate summit succeeding, all with the help of game theory.
As Chakrabortty reports, the prof’s methods have been surprisingly successful at predicting the affairs of fickle humans.
One might only hope, that with a little maths tutoring, we might all be better at predicting the future.
