Ronald Meester argues that we should be very careful when we use mathematical models. The numbers and figures that come out of these models can only be meaningful if they are realistic enough. Often we need wisdom rather than mathematics.

Ronald Meester is a professor in mathematics at VU University in Amsterdam and publishes about the position of science in society.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
