Maths on the Street - Can mathematics help us to understand homelessness?

Mathematics is often thought of as an abstract discipline with few real-life applications beyond the classroom.  In this lecture, Dr Ann Smith guides us through her work on homelessness in the City of Edinburgh.  Ann will illustrate how maths plays a pivotal role in understanding complex societal problems, helping us to formulate effective public policy that has a direct outcome on the health and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals.
