We're talking about the maths of crime Crime? Yeah! For people who don't know, you're a proper mathematician. And we're really getting into your research. Yup. We're gonna... In fact, even look at a paper that I've even done with one of my PhD students. So yes, I am a real person. This is your area of expertise? Ahh... yeah. Ahh... yeah. One of the things.... That's important to know about crime... or terrorism... things like that... is when it's going to happen. There's a bit of old maths that kind of helps us start off understanding that. and that's something call the Poisson Distribution, named after a guy called Poisson. Nothing to do with fish? :-) I don't think so, although some of my students call it ...
