Is there a secret formula for improving your life? For making something a viral hit? For deciding how long to stick with your current Netflix series, job, or even relationship?

Mathematician David Sumpter has met with tech entrepreneurs, professional gamblers and political researchers to discover the ten equations that make our world go round.

Sumpter shows how a small set of formulas can provide the answers to questions ranging from the trivial to the profound—whether you’re building a successful company website, determining how much time your children should spend on social media or figuring out whether to stay in a relationship or job.

With wit and clarity, Sumpter shows that it isn’t the technical details that make these formulas so successful: it is the way they allow mathematicians to view problems from a different angle – a way of seeing the world that anyone can learn. Empowering and enlightening, this talk will reveal how maths really can change your life.
