NUMB3RS : CBS show solves Crime with Math

Last night was the 4th episode of the new CBS crime drama:
NUMB3RS www.cbs.com/primetime/numb3rs/

A brief and quick description of the show: It is about an FBI
special agent (Don) and his genius mathematician brother
(Charlie) who, at 30, is a faculty of a prestigious institute like
Caltech in Pasadena. Don unwillingly (initially) takes his
brother's help to solve one mystery after another.

How much of the mathematics shown and discussed in the show
is real? Big Mathematicians say - Yes. For most of the part it
is real. Gary Lorden, a Caltech Professor of Mathematics, whose
main expertise is in the vast field of "Probability and Statistics"
and specifically in Sequence theory is a consultant to the show.

In fact the formula used in the first episode (for capturing a
serial rapist turned a killer) was derived by a Canadian
Mathematician who successfully used it to locate the point of
origin of a serial killer in Louisianna.

As they say, Math controls everything in this unverse.
Even its crimes and criminals!
