Re: [asa] Dawkins update

He was on BBC World News this morning, which I happened to hear on the radio
on the way to work. The interviewer asked him if he would "continue to
discuss the battle lines between religion and science" (paraphrasing, but I
think that's the phrase the interviewer used), and Sautoy said no, that
isn't what he sees as the purpose of the Chair. He said he would focus on
how mathematics underlies all the other sciences and on mathematics
education.
