I don’t know about you but I will be having a blast this week-end. Should your own outlook be bleak, you can watch the following very interesting videos from TED: Arthur Benjamin: Lightning calculation and other « Mathemagic » and Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you’ve ever seen.
Oh but are you, maybe, unfamiliar with TED? It stand for Technology, Entertainment, Design and describes itself as « The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). »
