The Pleasures of Counting
Korner, T. W. (University of Cambridge)
What is the connection between the outbreak of cholera in Victorian Soho, the Battle of the Atlantic and the design of anchors?

Mathematicians wanting to explain to others how they spend their working days (and nights) should seek inspiration here.
