Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. On the show today, Marcus de Sotoy. Marcus is one of the country's best-known science broadcasters. He is professor of mathematics at Oxford University, where he holds the prestigious Simonia Chair for the public understanding of science.
He has presented numerous programmes on television and radio, including the internationally acclaimed BBC series The Story of Maths. His best-selling books include The Music of the Primes, The Number Mysteries, and, most recently, Around the World in 8D games. Marcus joined us recently on stage at the Pleasants Theatre in London, in conversation with award-winning science broadcaster and mechanical engineer Dr. Shinnie Samara. He explored the maths and strategy behind the games we love and the tactics needed to master them all.
