Maths is Coded in Your Genes by Christopher Budd

We live in an information age, with vast amounts of data constantly sent around the world. This lecture will introduce you to the mathematics of information.

Christopher Budd will explain how data is transmitted and received over vast distances by using carefully designed codes, and how work by a young French mathematician in the 19th century plays a vital role in this. He will then show how a huge amount of information is encoded in your genes and how maths can make sense of it.
