Show Notes
When maths goes wrong in the real world , it can cost billions. Dr Karl quizzes Matt Parker on the mishaps with planes, bridges, drilling and PAC-MAN. From unboxing calculators for YouTube to why footballs should be donuts (if you believe the signs), this is Recreational Mathematics. A comedy of errors with some brilliantly told disaster stories.
