Another 5 Numbers

A sequel to
the original
Radio 4 series


The first series of "Five Numbers" got a great response from listeners, so we have come up with "Another Five Numbers", which is being broadcast for five Tuesday mornings at 9.30am, starting on April 22, 2003.

The series looks at subjects like the Kepler Stacking problem, the 4 Colour Problem, prime numbers, game theory and the mathematics of shuffling.

You can find out more about the series by visiting the Radio 4 website. You may even find it listed in the A-Z of programmes, or you can click here to find out more, and to hear the show online.


During the series, I talk to mathematicians such as
Marcus du Sautoy and Ian Stewart, and we also interview comedian (and ex-mathematician) Adam Spencer.



Producer: Adrian Washbourne
