TV Series NUMBERS! can maths actually help as portrayed on the series or is it a dumb question?
It is not a dumb question. The police would love it if they could use a mathematician to solve the crimes they investigate, but sadly they can’t. You may as well have a fortune teller in service. Of course normal maths is used by the police for things like adding up speeding points. Probably need a policeman or woman to give you more info.
