Full event details

Get a different angle on how to solve crimes! You may think you would never use trigonometry after you finish studying maths, but did you know it can be used to help solve crimes? Bloodstain pattern analysis is a key feature of crime scene investigation, helping investigators piece together the sequence of events that took place when violent crimes have been committed. Knowing how many blows have been struck during an assault, as well as pinpointing where they occurred, are important procedures that give investigators a fuller picture of a crime scene and trigonometry plays a key role in bloodstain pattern analysis. This talk will introduce some of the concepts that underpin bloodstain pattern analysis and how trigonometry is applied to help solve crime.

This talk lasts 60 mins
