COUNTING THE ECONOMY AND TELLING THE MATHEMATICS


 

“The master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts…. He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher—in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular, in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man’s nature or his institutions must be entirely outside his regard.”

J. M. Keynes

 

On the occasion of PI GRECO Day, Thursday 14 March at 11.00 am, the Museum of Saving offers high schools the online event “Counting the economy and telling the mathematics”.

In everyday life, mathematics allows us to solve small questions and guides us towards the best choices, such as, for example, dividing the pizzeria bill among friends, defining the budget for a classmate’s gift, choosing the best telephone rate or the cheapest telephone operator.

Economics and mathematics are closely connected and we will discover this with Rocco Dedda, author, teacher and influencer of mathematics, and Gian Italo Bischi, professor of Mathematical Methods for Economics and Finance at the University of Urbino.
