Upfront S3, Ep.6 - Change the Subject with Adam Spencer Are you one of those people who say they hate maths? You’re not alone. Over half the working population has the numeracy levels of a primary school child, and a third of adults say they actively avoid anything to do with numbers and data with a fifth saying it makes them feel physically sick. What effect is this having on how we manage our finances? On the latest episode of our Upfront podcast, mathematician and comedian Adam Spencer joins Emmanuel Asuquo for a fun and fascinating chat about money and maths. Are we teaching maths all wrong? How does a cashless society affect children’s understanding of money? Can we make finance fun? And was learning Pi a total waste of time? Tune in for the answers and some mind-bending facts about numbers and the universe that might make you see maths in a whole new way.
