Rob Eastaway – Much Ado About Numbers: Shakespeare's Mathematical Life and Times

In this highly engaging and entertaining talk, award-
winning author and broadcaster, Rob Eastaway, explores
the surprising ways that maths and numbers shaped
Shakespeare's plays. In the late 16th century, new
mathematical ideas from astronomy to probability, and
music to multiplication, were taking off. Find out why it was
hazardous to play with dice, why ‘nothing’ was so significant to the Tudors, and how Shakespeare loved to be creative with numbers.
