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.
Last night I was browsing ebay and came across one item which said it was to be picked up in Royston. Not having heard of this place before,I then googled it to find it on the map to see whereabouts in the UK it was.
I was a bit taken aback today,when I read the cover story of the newspaper about killer Ian Stewart who apparently lives in Royston.
Ian Stewart is also the name one of my favourite mathematicians who has also written on the subject of chance an coincidence!
