The next Sherlock Holmes could well be a mathematician! Maths is playing an increasingly important role in crime scene investigations, helping forensic scientists work out a range of problems including the trajectories of bullets, fingerprint recognition and the speed of moving vehicles. An understanding of the subject could be key for the next great detective. Describing the mathematical techniques used in investigating everything from catching a speeding motorist to what or who killed Tutankhamen, Chris will show that mathematics has a key role to play in modern-day crime detection.
