Maths at: The Election

WE'RE BACK FOR A ONE OFF SPECIAL!
What could be special enough to bring us back? Well nothing
more than a bloomin' election! That's right we're going to look at
how maths infuses even our democratic duties.

Today's discussion points:

How are Thomas and Liz now that they're parents?

How do we deal with having no perfect voting systems?

Rude diagrams and asymptotes.

All this and more in this week's Maths at.


In you're interested in more political theory then the UK
will be going to the polls on November 12th! Enough stats to make
you go blind.
