An unfiltered look in to the lives of 3 characters surviving amongst the most recent cycle of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, otherwise known as the M23 rebellion.

A weekly documentary series, each episode providing an in-depth look at a different subject of scientific research. Subjects examined by this show have included the cutting edge of theoretical physics, a return to the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, the long-term effects of Amazon deforestation, and the development of life-saving medical techniques.

Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the internet, and 'big data,' the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally? And how can we find meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty? From the glitz of casinos and TV game shows to the life-and-death stakes of storm forecasts and the flaws of opinion polls that can swing an election, 'Prediction by the Numbers' explores stories of statistics in action. Yet advances in machine learning and big data models that increasingly rule our lives are also posing big, disturbing questions. How much should we trust predictions made by algorithms when we don't understand how they arrive at them? And how far ahead can we really forecast?

一场神秘数学之旅——这将会是关于数学在数个世纪以来令人惊叹的力量的一次探索。从第一次无线电传输到成功将登陆车送上火星，数学在这一切事物中都至关重要。然而数学究竟为何有这些力量？数学到底是一项发明、还是发现？它到底是人类大脑的产物、还是宇宙自身的语言？“数学大谜思”这期节目将解释数学运算如何在大脑中运作，并且思索为何数学在解码宇宙的科学探索中是如此管用。
