understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
In 1966 I was walking in Clifton, Bristol one Sunday when one of my old tutors at College3 years previously stopped in his car and we ahd a chat. Not seen him for about 3 years and in the conversation he offered me a job teaching (engineering) part time. A year later afull time teaching job came up which I applied for and got. 45 years on, I'm still teaching non stop since that fateful day. If I hadn't been in that place at that time my life would have been so different. I've never looked back! I think that was a brilliant coincidence?
