How Math Solves Crimes

🔍 Ever thought math could crack a murder mystery? This week, on What The Math, we explored the fascinating world of the crime drama series NUMB3RS, where FBI cases are solved through the power of equations and logical reasoning.

In Season 4, Episode 4, titled Thirteen, a serial killer leaves cryptic numerological patterns in Bible verses at crime scenes. FBI agent Don Eppes and his math-genius brother Charlie race against time to decode these patterns and stop the killer.

📌 What Makes This Episode Special?
It introduces the Strong Law of Small Numbers, a quirky yet profound mathematical principle. Simply put:
"There aren’t enough small numbers to meet all the demands made of them."

This principle explains why certain small numbers often appear in surprising, unrelated contexts. Charlie uses this idea to debunk the killer’s patterns, proving that “one will always find meaning where one seeks it.”
