The PBS seven part series called "Life by the Numbers." is
scheduled to premier on Wednesday, April 8. Check local listings.
The seven one-hour episodes include segments on the uses of
mathematics in sports, entertainment, communications, global
economics, local politics, medical research, cartography and
oceanography.
You can find out more about the upcoming series in an article by
Devlin in the March 1998 FOCUS (page 6) or read the full text of
Keith Devlin's article at:

There is also an elaborate web site devoted to the series under
construction. It already has quite a bit of content, and provides a
preview of what the series will be like. It is at:

The above information was posted to the numeracy list by Rose Kaplan; I
am forwarding it to this list for those that may be interested.
