An EdTech Talk with Professor Bridger
Every Friday night at 10 p.m. on CBS, the cast of NUMB3RS takes on another crime that requires advanced mathematics skills to solve. Based on actual events, NUMB3RS explores the connection between criminal investigations and mathematics. Following each episode in which FBI Agent Don Eppes and his mathematical genius brother Charlie solve a complex crime, Professor Bridger of the NU Math Department posts on his blog an explanation of the math Charlie uses.
The blog can be found at http://www.atsweb.neu.edu/math/cp/blog/.
One of the principle mathematics consultants for the show, Professor Bridger created the blog to attract students to, and promote better public appreciation of, the mathematical sciences. Professor Bridger's talk will focus on the educational applications of his NUMB3RS blog and will feature interesting clips from the show.
