Numbers rain down on us - in statistics, measurements, targets, budgets, risks, probabilities, indeed in quantification and calculation of every kind.

We look at the way numbers are used in politics and economics and how they crop up in everyday life.

We try to un-pick statistics, find the truth behind the figures, and look for helpful ways of making sense of the torrent of numbers on all sides.

They are often the way we conduct our most vital arguments.
