Today we rely\non mathematical models to forecast the weather\, the spread of\n diseases\, the economy\, and much else. But despite huge investments\nin m anpower and technology\, we still find it hard to anticipate\ncomplex syst ems – as our recent difficulties with climate change\,\nflu pandemics\, or the credit crunch have shown. This talk takes an\noverview of the history and the challenges of prediction\, and\nargues that our search for the “p erfect model” often reveals as\nmuch about our sense of aesthetics as it d oes about the future.\n DTSTART:20120329T180000Z DTEND:20120329T190000Z SUMMARY:Broadcast — Perfect Model: Prediction\, Science and Aesthetics URL:/channels/event/broadcast-%E2%80%94-perfect-model- prediction-science-and-aesthetics-212644 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
