Mathematics is being used more and more frequently in solving crimes. In this book, Keith Devlin and Gary Lorden examine many of the crime-solving techniques shown in the CBS crime series "Numb3rs".
The authors show how statistics, neural networks, DNA profiling, and game theory are used to combat murder, terrorism, and credit card fraud. The book shows how mathematics applies to fingerprint evidence, and looks at how math is used in the courtroom and in casino gambling.
The appendix to this volume consists of the plot synopses of each episode of the first three seasons of "Numb3rs", and the book is a great complement to the television series while being mostly comprehensible to the general reader.Get more detail about The Numbers Behind NUMB3RS.
