| Abstract: | I will talk about the uses and abuses of mathematics in finance. In particular, how the poor understanding of modelled risk (i.e. statistics) has led to the current crisis. I will also talk about the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and how its blind application as a mathematical axiom is wrong. This will be a talk that anyone from any discipline can attend (I am, after all, a physicist), and it won't be too dry!
