Senate lecture: The methodological twist underpinning the myth of the St Petersburg Paradox

Prof Robert Vivian of the School of Economics & Business Science in the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management will be delivering his Senate Lecture entitled The methodological twist underpinning the myth of the St Petersburg Paradox and the end of the paradox. The St Petersburg paradox has intrigued the Who’s Who of mathematics and social sciences for nearly 300 years. The lecture will solve the paradox and point out, for the first time, why in the foreseeable future the world will no longer believe a paradox exists. A chapter on the 300 year history will be closed.
