The companion to the hit CBS crime series
Numb3rs
presents the fascinating way mathematics is used to fight real-life crime
Using the popular CBS prime-time TV crime series
Numb3rs
as a springboard, Keith Devlin (known to millions of NPR listeners as the Math Guy on NPR's
Weekend Edition with Scott Simon
) and Gary Lorden (the principal math advisor to
Numb3rs
) explain real-life mathematical techniques used by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to catch and convict criminals. From forensics to counterterrorism, the Riemann hypothesis to image enhancement, solving murders to beating casinos, Devlin and Lorden present compelling cases that illustrate how advanced mathematics can be used in state-of-the-art criminal investigations.
