Six conversations in which the biologist Lewis Wolpert invites distinguished scientists to consider what they do.
3: I was working with test pilots and they were staking their lives on the correctness of the science. I've done a lot of work on ocean waves and currents, and I feel I understand them well enough to swim in them. Sir James Lighthill , Provost of University College, London. has been described as Britain's greatest applied mathematician this century. He reflects on the excitement of a subject which has led him into areas as diverse as supersonic flight and blood flow, and enabled him to swim round Sark and the erupting Stromboli.
