The Numbers behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics
By Devlin, and Lorden.
This title is associated with the CBS TV show, and can be bought just about anywhere in a math section at bigger stores, or online.
I read this book recently, and although I have an Associate's degree in math, I thought it was easy to understand, and engaging.
Being a fan of the TV show helps, but it isn't really necessary to understand what the book teaches. For example, I was able to learn what a neural network does based on a chapter of reading. Of course I have no big reason to implement one yet, but I could try since I can program matrices... so it did whet my appetite for learning.
and unexplained absences are all considered potential espionage indicators.
Sure, whatever. They might also be skiing... "I don't feel like teaching today" usually meant golf in one class I took:) Hmmm, will they extend these rules to the links?

Oh, more women in SCIENCE. Got it.
The surgical exploration alone would probably thrill about 1/3 of the criminals receiving the chips... if not more!
That is the best description of farming!
Excellent idea!
