Marcus du Sautoy in conversation discusses The Art Of The Shortcut
Could antipathy to hard work be humankind's greatest salvation?
We consider this in the latest episode of Creative Collisions. Our guest is Oxford Professor Marcus du Sautoy, one of the world's leading mathematical communicators in conversation with Second Home founder Rohan Silva to discuss du Sautoy's latest book "Thinking Better: The Art Of the Shortcut" and according to him, math is central to the shortcut. In this spirited discussion they examine how circumventing obstruction in problem solving has underpinned humanity's greatest achievements and against all odds--driven some of civilization's greatest progress. Plus: how we can use them to solve complex challenges in everyday life.
