<b>''Fascinating'' <i>Financial Times</i></b>Algorithms are running our society, and as the Cambridge Analytica story has revealed, we don¿t really know what they are up to.Our increasing reliance on technology and the internet has opened a window for mathematicians and data researchers to gaze through into our lives. Using the data they are constantly collecting about where we travel, where we shop, what we buy and what interests us, they can begin to predict our daily habits. But how reliable is this data? Without understanding what mathematics can and can¿t do, it is impossible to get a handle on how it is changing our lives.
