Wrong Number? How to detect bogus data in the news
Manage episode 225335983 series 2471988
On this episode of Numbers Geek, we’ll talk with someone who specializes in recognizing "bogus and misleading" numbers in media coverage and public statements: Brian Kernighan, a Princeton University computer science professor and the author of a new book, “Millions, Billions, Zillions: Defending Yourself in a World of Too Many Numbers.” Then we'll use those techniques to sniff out false and misleading statements from public officials on military spending, with help from our Resident Numbers Geek, Steve Ballmer.
