You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / What Happens When Mathematical Calculations Go Wrong?
Published: February 9, 2020 by VPR Producer

The field of mathematics is still seen as a boring and overly complex field to much of the public.

In his new book, he illustrates the powerful and interesting side of math through real-life engineering and computing failures that occurred because someone’s mathematical calculations were just slightly off.
