In spite of our artist, mathematicians are not all hoary old beavers like the one he has drawn. They are human. And their figures, dull as they may seem at first sight, have a very human interest. Professor R. J. T. Bell. of Otago University, knows very well how to make them interesting, and will be worth hearing when he broadcasts in 4YA's Winter Course Series, at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday. August 13, about "The Human Side of Mathematics."
